Manifold Casting

 Manifold Casting... "This elaborate bracket started as scrap from work, reappropriated and welded into a 30-degree angle clamping jig." You can see from the side view I forgot to even clean the weld up with a brass brush. First pass with the cutter all looks good, this low setup allows me to drill and tap the holes for the fountain valves and drill the horizontal connecting channel.
