[SEL] Falk piston core box and pattern update.

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Dave or Curt,
    I have "loosely" followed the pattern making thread but wished I had 
paid more attention. Here are a couple of questions.  Can you give me 
some additional info. on the removable insert?  How's it held in, 
removed, etc.  Second, is it simply paper you put between the two halves 
before glueing so that you can separate them later?  I had a guy once 
tell me he glued newspaper between the halves then took a sharp chisel 
and with a blow of the mallet they would pop apart.  This pattern work 
is beginning to interest me and I admire the work you've done.  Thanks.
