    Hi everyone, I am a working jeweller and watchmaker in the UK and
    have been employed in my own business for 25 years. 

    I am presently setting up a lost wax casting workshop and have made
    much of the equipment required. 

    One item I am particularly pleased with is my homemade wax injector.
     I made this from bits and pieces around the workshop and the total
    cost was in the region of =A330.00 UKP.   It works well and I am able
    to control temperature as well as pressure of wax delivered.  I
    wonder if members of this group would find this item of interest and
    if so is there somewhere in this group I could place photos of it so
    that others may benefit from it. 

    Although I designed and made the relief and injector valve which
    involved using a lathe I can see no reason why a relief and injector
    valve could not be bought as ready made items. Other than that if you
    can silver solder you can make this injector at a fraction of the
    retail cost. 

    Regards Alan  Lewis From South Wales in the UK
