Hi John,
It was one of four we cast for a young lads gcse project that my son was teaching,not sure what he was making but they had to be turned & bored to fit, all I did was the casting as they had no foundry facilities at his school.

That is good that you could help out
I remember casting a aluminium "G" clamp at school using old desk frames
Happy days
John
Dodger, c'mon, am I the only one who has no idea of what "gcse" means?

I made one of these as well
Mine had a turned threaded steel insert for the threaded bar to fit in. I spent hours polishing that G clamp for its O level debut ...
Looks like you have this casting all sorted Graham
I started my furnace last year and it still isnt finished ! Talk about a slow worker. Although in my defence... I have also started many other projects that are in the to be finished pile

Okay, I'll ask properly. What does "gcse" mean?
