[SEL] Hercules & Economy piston pattern project comes together.

[Richard Strobel]

Well needless to say, Corky and I are most impressed!  Could you please take 
us thru the whole process....say "Casting 101 for Dummies?".....preciate it.

 Wonder if that would fit the 1 3/4 Economy drag saw I have..I'll measure it 
up.

Thanks pard!!
Rick
PS: Haven't forgot Devin's rocks..need warmer weather.  This guy is 90+ 
years young and doesn't need to be out in his cold rock shop.  He's sharp!! 
Been thinkin' about taking the video camera.  I think Devin would like that.
