Nice.
I know my cope from my drag. Long ago I worked in the pattern shop of a foundry to pay for my education. Being the young guy I was tasked with getting the samples poured and retrieved from the foundry. We marked the sample molds with chalk so they could be pulled from the conveyor before getting mixed in with the regular production parts. I used a long steel hook to break open the sand molds and latch onto the parts. I would end up standing in the middle of a pile of hot sand and still faintly glowing castings. I only caught my jeans on fire one time.
The guys that were on the furnaces and pouring iron all day and night were the MEN.
