Jack Stand for casting

[JonB]

Somehow, brass seems to gain molecular weight with age.

I think it's the patina that adds weight, LOL.
now I'm not saying if it's the mold's patina or my patina?

many people on several forums are liking these for under their pots that have poor mold rests,

I hate to tell you this Tom, I think gravity is getting stronger. My chest dropped and got caught above my belt .

I believe that getting old our energy is like water in a bucket sitting in the sun.

The longer it sits the less there is of it.

try changing oil on truck or wife's car the closer I get to the ground the harder it is to get up more gravity I guess.
If im on the ground i'm needed something to pull myself up.

I once told a guy that my chest dropped and grabbed my gut for emphasis. He said his did too, but went lower and then grabbed under his belt.
is this the thread drift thread?

It's a furniture problem not a gravity problem . See we used to have a chest of drawers , now it's a chest in your drawers ......... It often happens to the fairer of the species too .

I just ordered 1 with the 4" top plate for casting. And 1 with the 6" top plate because the 6" is rated for 22 lbs. So I will use that one as a front rifle rest. Kevin

Keep us informed

I'm thinking of getting one or two of these for general shop use, such as supporting the end of a long rod when the other end is in a vise being worked on. I can think of one job in particular that we do that requires an end support, this thing could be very helpful.

I got mine and I think I will add some small adjustable angle to guide the mold. I know all of you will be envious of my hi-tech hold down apparatus.

We bullet casters may be the most ingenious and adaptive of hobbyists.

Whatever works and is the easiest to do.

I received the 2 stands I ordered today and was playing with them this evening. I’ll mount one tomorrow as I need to do some casting. I noticed that at lower deflection the height appears to drift easily but that can be fixed with a M6 nut used as a jamb nut. Pics to follow after tomorrow’s casting.

Interesting way to anchor the pot and mold "stand" to the bench. I use tee-nuts.

Two things that improve that new Lyman pot. That stand a adding a spring to the valve handle.
