The older buildings in Charleston used these plates to repair the buildings following an earthquake there. For when it was cheaper to clamp the walls in place than to tear down the buildings, when deemed safe. The locals call them earthquake repair bolts.
Charleston, SC is earthquake prone. The last big one hit in 1886 and it gets tremors now and then almost yearly. In Charleston they would call these earthquake bolt regardless of why they were actually installed.
❤ great job! Make sure you include the name Tally Ho on your version of capstan casting. It is art after all. The bronze foundry did so on some pieces below decks without asking Leo and he liked it.
You need to start wearing a good back support brace support. If not you will pay a price for all your hard work. I'm paying that price now. It's not worth it. Hire some labor.
Wow Clarke. That plasma cutter goes through that cast iron like a hot knife thru butter. What an upgrade. Another great video and thanks for sharing!

Nice knockers!
So glad to see some molten iron on this frozen Sunday morning in Alabama 😊
Nice lighting Clarke sure looks great. Thanks for the castings.
Lights are a great improvement as well as the plasma cutter. Keep up the awesome work and videos.
We're heading to Charleston in a couple of days and plan to see the house. In looking up the address the spelling is Miles Brewton House, FYI.

What you need Clarke is a steel table you can jack up and down a bit. Save your back a little, while still being able to drop down for pouring.
BTW, always amazed at the complete lack of inclusions in the iron.
Great video
Nicely done teaser, there in your description, for us in the Tally House Bleachers! 😂😂😂
Another interesting video! Can’t wait to see your new lights in operation! I may also look into a Plasma cutter one of these days!
Thank you for another great video. Stay safe out there. Cheers
What an amazing craft you have ! A lot of hard work. Talented for sure!
Nice. That plasma cutter really does look like fun
Just got my coffee..Tally Ho!
What an amazing sky
I really like the camera shots down the risers. What is the average life of a crucible ? Thanks for the videos.
Hi Clark
Thanks for the video
Do you get any localized hard spots in the castings where you cut off with the plasma torch?
That house reminds me of mine except Brick and nicer. LOL
Tally Ho time!!!!😊
Hello, anybody here?
Nope

You're far, far ahead with the lights that you were.
