today's casting - dallen - 10-26-2012

or part of the ones I did today. I did two cast of these grips but only one got close enough to say I would keep them. Still have some bugs to work out on the molding stage.

figured out a couple of things and these came out a whole lot better. Still need to do the holes and counterbores, but not bad for an ole country boy!

Looks like a good fit. Is that aluminum you cast it out of?
