still making parts for the shaper
#9
Hit a hard spot while trying to put in the pin hole. So I've decided to instead of trying to finish this one and maybe tear up a bunch of cutters and such, to cast another one and start over. But it the weather stays nasty I may just give it a couple hours in the kiln at about 1600 one way to warm up the family room and see if it's character will soften a bit.

here's a picture I circled 1. the hole that has hard spots in it, and 2. where I have trimmed the pattern down a 1/4 of and inch to get rid of excess that doesn't need to be on the part.

Think I got it straightened out, anyway I used a boring head and bar and was able to open it up to the measurements I need for the pin and brass retainer that I still have to make.
