Casting Set-up

[Larry Steinmetz]

Hello,

I am currently working on setting up a part of my shop for casting/stabilizing and am tossing around ideas for work surfaces, should I mount the pressure pots to a bench with casters, storage for supplies, etc. In particular, I would be interested in seeing if anyone has purchased or has purpose-built a workstation or stand. I realize everyone's situation is different, shop sizes differ, etc. but I am always looking for ideas. Thanks.

BTW...my current gear includes both 5 and 2.5 gal California Air pressure pots, a Conestoga 8" x 24" vacuum chamber, a/c style vacuum pump, etc.

Compressor? Steve Criscenzo, Zac Higgins, Wyoming woodturner, have good YouTube's. Is conestoga still in business?

I've watched quite a few of Zac HIggins and WY Woodturner videos as well as others. As far as a compressor, I have an 80-gallon compressor with another 80-gallon dry tank in my main shop but decided to move the casting to another building that has my laser and is a partial garden area for my wife, a man cave on the front side, etc. so I am currently looking for another compressor. I haven't ordered from Conestoga for a while but just checked and they still have a website and actually have a few products that I don't think they had last time I shopped there.
