Due To The High demand on our feather pen blanks We decided to purchase a new vacuum chamber to keep the backlog to a minimum and with the shows we got booked also craft fairs and our commitment to our overseas customers we looked at the small 4.2 ltr kit on eBay today. I have seen that there is some interest here in the subject and shall keep you posted on its performance we chose the one with the steel bottom to compensate for climatic conditions in case we needed a little heat from the bottom it looks the kit for small moulds as ours we only do a few blanks at a time because the work involved is so time consuming but we use both pressure pots and vacuum.

Paul you gave me a smile out here in cricket when a bowler hits a batsman on the head with a bouncer its called a Falcon.

Ryan want to see what you do with feathers etc a mate of mine in Canada posts on our Aussie forum produces feather blanks and so many others has shown on that site so many cheap and effective ways to assist in casting cheaply, his name is Les.

Kind regards Peter.
