Thanks for the comment. All of the parts on the lathe were cast using the greensand casting method. I just got into lost foam when I put together my paint can furnace, after all the major parts for the lathe were already cast. Moving forward if I was to make another tailstock I probably would attempt it using lost foam. I do want to make a dremel holder for my QCTP so that, or a spindle lock, may be the next items cast using lost foam.

Cheers,
Morgan
