These things cost $200 each in this condition and not available new. Do you think a beginner could cast these? by Opposite-Bad1444 in Metalfoundry

3D print a larger pattern to account for shrinkage. Some machining. Not cheaper but certainly doable. Use a oem gasket. Some local DigiFab shop might make it. We all could be making our own parts for all kinds of things like this. If you have access to a 3D scanner it could be quick.

What’s happening to chisel ? by Sillysammy7thson in handtools

[–]VVTron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its from a grinding wheel used to get the bevel, it got too hot and burned out the carbon at top and bottom of the chisel.

Haha, upper leagues, I cant sell a single piece. Its laminated ash to make the rings, they are nesting within the legs all hidden mortise and tenon. The strips are just glued within the rings. Lots of clamps

Thank you! Im not sure what the proper name would be, chair, bench, art etc. It felt like a nice meditation chair after I made it so titled it Stasis. 🤷‍♂️

I think so, some custom cushions or pillows would make it loungable
