I really enjoyed reading the ‘Pattern Making Workshop Practice’ ebook. As a newbie I’d always assumed that pattern making was basically a “no-brainer” affair. Naively I used to think that patterns were fairly simple and done in two boxes. Nothing could’ve been further from the truth! It now absolutely amazes me what can be accomplished with complex pattern making!
Thanks to your insightful ebook I now know how to deduce what pattern configuration to use basically from any casting work that needs doing! Compound flasks, soldiers, pattern sweeping, balance cores etc, are all terms and techniques that I now understand. I look forward to applying these principles to my own metal casting. Thanks again for a wonderful book and the preface in the book ‘Knowledge is Power’ certainly is an appropriate adage as my pattern making knowledge has been improved ten-fold.
Thank you Colin,
