This is a bit out of order but as I was getting the furnace ready to go I started building some of the other items that I will need to have on order to cast metal. For the most part all of the support items needed are very simple to make there are just a lot of them and it can take some time. As with most of the items mentioned in Dave Gingery's book adapt them as you need according to what you have on hand.
The first two pieces that I made were very simple to make, the molding box for the green sand and a sliding saddle so that I would have a place on which to work. I made the box out of 2x8 pine with a plywood bottom and the saddle was made using 2x4 pine.
