[Shop-talk] Cast Iron Repair

["Steve Hammatt, Mount Vernon WA USA" <gsteve@hammatt.com>]

If you have anything (cast iron) that needs repair, Ibd
strongly suggest that you consider bCast Iron Mikeb in
Marysville, WA (north of Seattle).  Hebs been doing this
for years (Ibve seen evidence of him going three layers
deep inside an old engine block, doing the repair, then
coming back out and doing the successive repairs to the
first and second layers).  In one of my cases, I had a
1912 Buick engine block that had earlier been brazed
back together.  The entire side of the block had popped
into nearly a dozen pieces due to freezing.  He took
it all apart, removed all the brazing material and then
welded everything back together.  He finished smooth
then stipples with a power tool to match the original
finish.  It was near impossible to spot any evidence of
the extensive repairs.

The reason for my bring this up as a topic is that economic
times are difficult and many of us here in the NW donbt
want to loose this resource.  If you want to get some
cast iron welding done but think bIbll get around to it
somedayb, then now is that day.  You can contact Mike
at 360-657-7660.  His shop is located at
