I always stand, also.
That holds a LED lamp to shine on the sprue hole. I've always gotten my best bullets when I pour directly into the hole and not touching the sprue plate at all. If I touch the plate a lot of times the base is not filled. Noticed this long ago when I still cast rifle bullets.What's the little wooden box with the pvc fittings and cord coming out of it, sprue cooling fan?
That box contains a small fan. The "muffin pan" isn't a pan. It's a shelf where you set the moulds and those are holes that you see in the shelf. I usually cast with 2 moulds and turn the fan on when I can tell the sprue is starting to cut a little easier. Seems to drop the temperature of the mould about 10°. Haven't figured out how I'd measure the sprue plate itself but you can tell by the feel it must be a little cooler.What is that box with the light switch on top and the "muffin pan" on the bottom?
Yeah. Got those about a year ago at my wife's request! LOLWaco, I see one thing on your bench that recently has appeared on mine as well: Reading glasses. Ain't that first big taste of getting older just freakin' wonderful?

Once you have cataract surgery you'll probably need glasses for close work, most do. The good part was after a life of 20/800 vision I'm close to 20/20 except up close. So glasses were and still are a way of life for me.
