Handle For Casting - Match Plates

This handle is the result of a TinkerCAD tutorial I made which describes how to create match plates for easy metal casting.

My handles were cast in aluminum using expendable molds. This can also be done with normal sand casting. I felt a mold was the easiest way for a person new to casting to realize reliable results their very first try.

I've posted a video of the tutorial and you can watch that at https://youtu.be/VVYMFk1R-7w
In part two I show how a mold is made and the part is cast in your choice of metal. You can watch that at https://youtu.be/EnFVBwVY8Xk
