In my Christmas message I noted I wasn't going to make any molds in the
shop until after the start of the New Year in spite of getting over a
nasty bug

Well, that choice has resulted in a minor remission of another bug.-a My
HSD (Horizontal Surface Disease) is improving in a couple different
areas.-a I can now see more than 60% of the surface of my welding table.
Its still 90% obstructed, but I can see it.
HSD is a horrible affliction, but I am working on long term mitigation factors for that as well.-a Part of the reason for clearing off my
welding table is to get back on making the storage cabinet work benches
I've wanted along the back wall for a long time. I have most of the
steel.-a I have most of the drawer slides.-a I have the steel top material.-a I just need to clear up my HSD a little bit to get started.

-a I suffer from that same affliction ... the first step in my case is going to be to throw a bunch of stuff "I might use some day" away . Then
get all the usable steel scrap moved to the location most of the big
stuff is already at . Some of my scrap is aluminum that needs to be converted to ingots . Haven't decided what to do with the copper/brass/ bronze yet .

Copper can be converted to aluminum bronze which can make a decent plane bearing material.
Bronze is bronze, and brass can of course be cast into other brass-a parts.
Beware of zinc fumes.
