Can also see in the back the socket organizer I made for the tool box a couple weeks ago. I dont ever want to make one of those again.

Fantastic! Is that for molten lead?
I dabbled with some at home metal casting a few years back when I needed a custom mounting bracket for the clutch cable on the motorcycle I built. Nothing on the market came close to what I wanted so I had a buddy draw it up in Solidworks. We 3D printed the mold seed, then I cast it from brass in a clay mold like you would cast jewelry. Came out better than I hoped!
