Re weight saving...yes I made that statement without comparing the two obviously I need to get more data before I make any assumptions.

I have saved a nice pile of sawdust which I plan to add to some clay that I am preparing...as certain African tribes use such an approach to make pots that they merely "fire" in a camp fire...I want to see what results I can achieve...what will I do with it..make a set of individual chess pieces and a crucible to melt bronze ..I know what else would one do with a good batch of clay.

Weight saving was a fanatical pursuit in my racing days...I would drill out even the brake shoes (we did not have disk's brakes back then)...my entire front brake assembly ended up weighing less than the inner tube...and man could you notice the difference

I certainly like your art work thanks for sharing.
