I’d not intended to produce any more casting videos, but I’ve had such a hard time getting this to work it might be helpful for anyone else trying the same.

I’m part way through a Wyvern build, and this video is all about the mould arrangement for the flywheels.

Thanks everyone. I do enjoy making the videos, and you never know they may be helpful to someone else.

I think I was lucky, and the wheel seemed pretty well balanced without having to do anything.
