Wood's Metal! I've ordered some on eBay.
Sounds like fun! I have to wait for it to arrive from eBay Holland as I couldn’t find any locally.Use caution…. it’s a slippery slope. You may find yourself mounting things in woods metal just for sport. Things that you could just clamp in a vise and attack with a hacksaw. Best to keep it to yourself because folks will start to question your sanity.
I made a gear holder for Norton bevel gears… Also used it to hold and unscrew carb velocity stacks that are stuck. Tried using it for a mag bearing puller. Thought it would work because the metal is so dense, but it was a dismal failure. It can be used for dies and bucks for forming…although I tried using it for a die, and had limited success. Kept getting voids, which didn’t make any sense to me. The stuff flows like mercury and I warmed up the mold. Still learning.
