[SEL] Falk piston core box and pattern update.

[Rick Rowlands]

I wish things were going better.  I melted the first heat on Saturday but 
could not get the furnace to melt yesterday.  I need to figure out what I am 
doing wrong.   I have several molds on the floor ready to pour but am having 
continual problems getting the induction furnace to run reliably.

The 9" cupola is standing by as a backup melting unit should I fail to get 
the induction furnace to work correctly.

Rick
