Sand Casting Aluminum Name Plates Part 1/2

Homemade aluminum name plates from 3D printed letters, wooden pattern plates, to the pouring of molten aluminum. This is part one. Part two is clean up and powder coating the final product.

Hello Trent can you explain about tapering the text like the post below? thank you

Do those letters have a taper to them? If so how did you put tapers on them?
