If you already have your answers, maybe do some more simple searching.

Everything you need to know is here: www.instructables.com/Cast-a-Celtic-Bronze-Sword-Beautiful-Authentic-Lea/Consider your wax model practice and start over. I did foundry work in cast silver and aluminum when I was younger than you but in the context of a classroom. Bear in mind that you can kill or maim yourself in a micro-second if you f**k up. See if you have a local vocational or high school that teaches foundry work. It might help tremendously. |

I am well aware of the danger and have all the safety equipment
I don't think we have a foundry class as i live in the middle of nowhere
But that link was very helpful thank you

If you already have your answers, maybe do some more simple searching. I think they're asking for help because they DONT have all the answers... |
