Thanks Chris,
  I take it then, outside of the general numbers you gave, that experience would account for your mold-making techniques.
    You've obviously mastered all the complex issues you mentioned regarding shrinkage from wax to metal.

 Thanks again,
John Bloy

Hi Chris,
  Super!  I've read/viewed just about all your offerings and haven't found an answer to a question I've been pondering throughout.
This may be a silly question..but:
When you create your pieces in wax for later fitting of stones and such, what percentage do you make the wax model bigger(if at all) to allow for casting shrinkage so finished cast isn't too small.

Again, I've recently 'discovered' your output and, having hand crafted jewelry in the past, am simply in awe of your work!

Many Thanks!

.......You can be thankfull to ART for providing a program which is like no other for the hobbiest. Just need to get the challenges of the finish pass
resolved.

I believe Art already knows how thankful I am.   Back when he was developing Mach2 and I participated with all the "testers" I was blown away moreso by his philosophy and approach to life in general.   Yes! I am thankful to Art.
  If I can ever get all the items on the "home improvement" front reduced to low priority, and still see a happy face on my wife, I will again get involved and provide some form of positive contributions.

I doubt i will be making any changes to it until until development activity resumes.
So until then ....happy reading.

Hi Rich!
I just wanted to say  ..THANK YOU!!
I've been dormant for quite some time now, but I couldn't let any more time pass without recognizing your immense documentation....and the work behind it!

Thanks Again.

Sure!  Put me down as one of those individuals who will graciously accept your code for the sole purpose of solving a puzzle.   I'm one of those that use ink and wouldn't think of asking another for the answers........yah, sure. .

Seriously, I promise not to ask ANY questions(within the first year). 

What you are doing control-wise, is exactly what my machines are looking for.

Thanks,
John (bloy)
