Casting a Bicycle Bell

<< < (4/5) > >>

Powder Keg:
A little more research and I notice that Bell Bronze seems to have more tin in it than others. 20 percent compared to about 10 percent found in most other bronze. I found some pure tin on Ebay and am thinking of getting it to make my own scrap bronze higher tin content alloy Might be fun?

Powder Keg:
Hey Rob, Are you using enough cow Dung in your foundry operation???



&NR=1

This is pretty interesting though. I've had lots of trouble with Bronze and these guys are using cow dung and bees wax and charcoal. Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong :lol: :lol: :lol:

Powder Keg:
There is a ton of pretty neat stuff pertaining to bells here. Lots of information.
