Today I cast a new mini-sand rammer for myself, using a new technique. I've done vertical casting flasks before, but never have I made such a large casting without a huge out gate. Just some minor venting. This ALMOST ended in quite a casting fail, but there weren't that many fires as a result. Only 1 small fire. You'll see it. RIP that flask. It's not dead, though, i'll still use it.

I'm shocked this worked, but i'm not trying it again.
