The Home Machinist!

the OP added the location info after the fact.. it was not there till after the posting about location

I just received an item today that was ordered on Dec 6th, it was just over 100 miles away to the east, then went 250 miles west, then showed up today. Tracking info still shows its en route.

Yes I have a friend that would really like to have this.. he is too busy to travel though it would have to be shipped..

can you at least let us know the price and I will let him know.

The original was cast iron.. I ordered cast iron round stock from McMaster-Carr. its what they call impact resistant ductile iron.

Its been along time since we discussed it but seems like they might of had other patterns for it, they got loaned out ...

Do you have the basic castings ? The local group here has built many scotty mogul's with the latest one being in the final touches stage. It was procured by one of the group as a "started" project if you could call it that, that had to be totally redone to correct all the issues. IMG_20200801_204240...

This thing is an absolute beast! IMG_2454b.jpg This is Larry Goldsbys C&O 2-10-4. I was up at Larry's in late 2004 and got to look it over under construction and yes its big.
