[sshc-fig] Firstpost! Also firstpour?

[Allan LeSage]

Let's set it to the 13th, we could aim to start pouring at like 2 PM or so
just so that we have some daylight.  I'll show up early like noon to set up.

I guess I'll just pour some ingots; I'll also try to do one sand mold of
something.

Does anyone have a pattern ready to cast, I wonder?
