G’day folks,
A new TGT for you on the vacuum casting machine I use for investment casting, do please enjoy!
Also, I have put together a selection of hi-res pics of the finished casting as wallpapers, so if you’re looking to brighten up your desktop with something new, then be sure to check them out. (zip file link below this post.)
Cheers, Chris.
