You guys ! You make my hair ache and my teeth itch ! Or, alternately, you
make my conscience burn me a little, at least, which is maybe not a bad
thing, for failing to come to know and understand more about the process.

For 13 years, I worked in a machine shop that had a significantly large iron
foundry attached, and I paid a bit of attention then. But now, I wish I
had spent LOTS more time and interest on the means, methods and materials.
Such knowledge as I did absorb was of the simply marvelous.

The guys who do this day in and day out are artists handling 2500-degree
molten iron ("liquid death").

Woh'da thunk that you could cast iron in an iron mold? More ways to ram
sand, more different kinds of sand, all kinds of patterns . . . . well, they
spent their lifetimes learning all that stuff. That, and more besides.

Roger that. But if you Google Aspin you'll find it available (via
Amazon) in Japan, France and the UK... but not in the USA. :-)

up them IV's. Definitely a chilling experience.
