My aluminum foundry poured this one on a day when their mold floor and line was completely full. My iron foundry is also busy and they do their best to accommodate me, but sometimes that means I have to lend a hand in mold assembly.



This particular block took around 3 months before they had time to pour it. There is no end in sight for my machining services and I also make foundry tooling and have several orders in house with quite a bit of work quoted. I expect things to slow down considerably next year (and the following few years), so maybe my parts will be easier to get.
