Pouring it into the second one now. The first went in beautifully. No bubbling or problems. This second one also seemed to go in perfectly. I also like the sprue being here on the side so I can pour a lot easier and with a full crucible. It was a bad mistake pouring directly on top of my piece. I won't do that ever again.

Here are the 2 finished molds and on top of them you can see the old failures. I had enough metal left over for 2 ingots so that was a perfect pour.

Notice the first one is dimpled ...it is cooling and starting to suck some metal from the sprue.

I have already bricked up my furnace and put my burner away for the evening. I will check my molds in a little bit. Stay tuned... :)

Here are the new castings after they have cooled. They look spectacular!

I could not be more pleased with my 2nd attempt at these pieces. They are solid and no visible defects to speak of at all.
