Hi everyone.


Only 15 days to go before I traipse off to do a woodturning course with Neil Lawton and 16 days to go before I post photos of my very first attempts at woodturning.


Anyway that is not the reason for this post.


I have been following with interest the post by [MENTION=1612]DJB Penmaker[/MENTION] and his first attempt at casting accompanied with a wonderful photo of his results and that got me thinking, would it not be cheaper (per pen) to make a slab and cut it down to relevant sizes? I have it in my head that it would be as easy to cast one as it would be to cast a dozen from one slab (I am not insinuating that casting is easy as it is no doubt a difficult process). no doubt I am missing something, the problem is that I can't think what.
