I just thought everyone would like to see my latest bronze casting efforts. Here are two videos of making the mold and casting bronze The house number was for a friend of mine. |

Very nice casting :thumbup: And making your own alloy, very impressive. What size an type of crucible did you use? |
| awemawson:
Was that an oil bonded sand or just green sand? |
| ironman:
Hello awemawson My sand is just ordinary green sand. Have you still got the induction furnace? Hello JonIndigoman The crucible is an A12 clay graphite type. |

Been building workshops etc, and now we've embarked on a complete house re-model! I have however built a non-inflamable annex to the main workshop specifically to house it. AWEM |
