    Yesterday I designed and carved some decorative washers. First I carved 2 and cast them. That gave me 4. I used those 4 to cast 4 more resulting in 8. I then used 6 of those to cast six more as that is the most I could fit in my flask. I posted a picture of the six freshly cast and you will see that they filled up the flask. Lastly I show a picture of how I used them on the loft I built in my shop.



    Now for full disclosure I did sand them with a flap sanding wheel on my angle grinder and then hit them slightly with a wire wheel in the drill. I also had to clean up the inner hole with a 3/8" drill bit.

    Can you tell I am enjoying myself? haha

    Enjoying my shop. Hard to believe that the Loft plaque was a couple of aluminum air compressor pistons earlier that morning.
