Part 1 Lost Foam Bowling Pin Shifter Knob Casting

Usually I notice that whenever you are using machines, you have gloves on, but you don't for this one. Is there a rule of thumb on that? And what's the yellow thing that looks like a taco shell?

@KelleyMag Anytime you use a machine that is spinning such as a lathe, drill press, bench grinder or buffing wheel you never want to wear gloves because one slip and the glove could grab onto the spinning shaft and rip fingers off. I am very aware of the possible danger that is always present when operating machinery and I rarely "give blood at the office" so, it's always safety first...

cool looking!!

where were you when i could have used one about 40 years ago?

[jdsprince]

@psychodelicdragon Thank you for the compliment! Well, about 40 years ago chances are I was probably sitting in front of the tv watching scooby doo and eating a bowl of SpaghettiOs  I definitely grew up in the wrong era! Thanks again! -Hank

Nice man. I hope you make a video of it being cast.

@spinesales Thank you. I sure will ! I am pouring some parts tomorrow. I am going to convert the wood lathe to my cnc router for the 4th axis for 3D rotary carving.
