The last 24 hours has been a mad race to the finish line. Some people finishing their mold at the last minute, others getting the charges ready, lining up the molds , checking safety equipment. I gotta say I am so exhuasted, like all the time. I donät think I get enough sleep and so I end up taking naps in the middle of the day. I think others are doing it as well.
The Finale of the iron pour was last night and it was a mother. Villu´s giant furnace was a beast. A very experienced ECU crew including myself handled it all night and it was like running a volcano. I still don´t know who that saint was that fed it for most of the night. I do feel like anyother furnace I could run now that Ive handled this one. So it was a pretty good learning experience. Professor Payne ran it and so I got a chance to learn from another professor. We ended the pour around 1:30am.
It looks like most castings came out and everyone is out cleaning them. we have two days before the exhibition. I think I can make it through another day. lol

How exciting! I can't wait to see pictures of the casts and of course the final completed works. Take a breather Andy.
