Would it help you if an illustrated guide was written/produced?
Yes.
good luck with the blocks.
mine took a massive amount of adjustments to get the patterns to work. its only a small block, but thats a large part of the problem. the process of producing the first batch, and the financial outlay cost me health problems mainly from stress. it also sent me old and grey early.
the heads got to the stage that producing a batch of 10 at a cost of £15,500 was just to much to put on the shelf. aas people were not prepared to give £2,000 for a new block. and if you have a problem with one block, YOU ARE IN THE RED.
GOOD LUCK.
This is our second attempt after a somewhat problematic first attempt some years back.
Your story on the patterns sounds very familiar and as you say the possible casting failure rate makes the whole job very costly.
I personally think it is a very time consuming, risky and expensive business but apparently some members are willing to pay and the stock of good original blocks is steadily shrinking.
Thanks !
