A trip to the foundry

I had some bisness at Southwest Steel in Longview TX, and I snaped some pics while waiting.

Hmmm, I bet those things weigh a good 50 or 60 lbs each

Those look familiar.
Can you get them to cast some lathe beds?

They only do steel. I would have to go around the corner (literally) to Harrison Iron for any iron pieces. If you want i can get some ballpark prices.

Thanks but I was just joking.
Got too many projects now and too few funds.
Would be interesting to see a casting foundry. Have seen some stuff on the tube and vids of individuals casting AL and grey iron.

It is really nice to see some brand new cast steel parts for lifting heavy things, thanks for the pictures.

Nice looking castings.
