Would anyone be interested in an roots blower manifold if I manufactured one?

Slow! but its coming along. Lower manifold is complete, ready for casting. I have a few thoughts on on the mold.

I don't want to use greensand, as the positive is a bit complex. I was thinking of using molding clay, as there is a crafts store in the next town over that has a kiln.

Still working on building the foundry. Can't seem to find fireclay locally.

Why not CNC it?

CNC wouldn't be too expensive, as I have a client who does CNC gasket making for oil/gas. But if i wanted to make a revision, i wouldn't want to wear out my welcome.

Update, I'm about halfway done with my foundry. Greensand has been ordered. My positive impression is complete (needs to be painted). Mold for sand core is done.

I'm hoping to have atleast my first attempt poured by the end of the year.

Cool

Its a cover for my furnace.
