First attempt at casting.
Carbon fiber/fiberglass sleeving cast on the tube (luv2turn mold)
Not the best as there some small air bubbles which I can see but others do not.
Something to work on.
The pic of the castings has some bad shadow (sorry)

Phil,

Can not add to the remarks made so far but agree with all of them. Gets real expensive so far I have resisted good on you.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:
