<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Greetings
All,</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>For
the monthly A&S we are doing metal casting at Daniel & Siobhan’s
house.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
have ordered a large supply of soapstone that is expected in tomorrow. If
it arrives on time we will do soapstone casting and molds with pewter and
bronze. Everyone will have an opportunity</span></font> <font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>to make a mold and
cast pewter and I will demonstrate the casting of bronze. We will discuss
period casting and I will have books that people can refer to that are
considered adequate documentation. You may want to bring a
notebook. I will also demonstrate more modern methods (rubber molds) that
are easier for large scale production of things like site tokens. </span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I will
have patterns that people can use, but if you wish to bring your own please
remember that you need a mirror image of your pattern. We will be casting
items the size of awards and site tokens.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If
the soapstone is delayed we will discuss the soapstone molds and work with
rubber molds. I do not promise that</span></font> <font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>everyone will be
able to make a rubber mold, but I will set a later date that any that</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>does
not get what they wish can return.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We
will begin at 7:00 discussing casting and so on, this will be covered in a
handout. We will begin making molds/masters promptly at 7:30 and intend
to complete by 9:00 pm. You are welcome to bring food and eat during the
class if you</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>wish.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Warning</span></font>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>–
I would liken casting pewter to frying with grease in a grease fryer. Do
not wear cloths you are fond of. I will have aprons, face</span></font> <font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>shields, and
masks for all. You should dress warm, but we will be in a heated
area. </span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There
is no cost for this class, but please rsvp so that I can ensure that I have
enough</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>equipment.</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> Do not let the lack of rsvp
keep you from</span></font> <font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>coming, but please do if you can!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
