Green-sand? Like for metal casting? Worked in a green-sand foundry some forty years back. We used big riddles ...and some little ones for delicate work. Went back to making pottery in the 90s. This looks like a real nice alternative to the ones they sell at the pottery supply store. Thanks!
It has held up great. I would like to make another one that has coarser mesh, this one is kind of fine for the petrobond, you have to push it through. Thanks for watching!
Soat Mon Well I bought a griddle from Goodwill, and a couple of cheap buckets from Walmart. I already had some screen on hand. I double layered the plastic just as you did. I set the griddle to 260 degrees. Everything worked great. I trimmed the majority of the screen off with a pair of scissors. Here's were I tried something different. I used a pair of end nipper pliers to trim the edge. This worked really well. I was able to get a nice flush cut. Then I smoothed what little remained with some dry wall sanding screen. Smooth as a babies behind. It looks so good, and it was really easy to do. Thank you for the great idea.

Your welcome! Yes I use it for greensand or actually petrobond sand for metal casting.
Very clever!
Thanks!
A dangerous way to use a circular saw. Tut-tut! You MUST have protection against slippage. Your hands are valuable tools!
That's awesome, great idea!
Thanks!
I like it, kool!
Very clever. How has it held up?
