GE - so quiet I had to say something

[Eadric Anstapa]

It is pretty easy to get started and more diffuclt to master.  You can do
some nice stuff relatively inexpensively.  The method you use will depend on
what you want to make, how fine the detail is, and how many of each item,
you wish to make.

Sand casting is affordable and relatively easy as is soapstone casting and
cuttlebone casting.

The most expensive pieces of equipment that you will need are the crucibles
to melt your metal in and the heat source to melt the metal with.  The easy
and most readily available way to melt the metal is with the direct flame
from a oxy-acetaline torch that you can get at any welding supply or big
tool stores.

Some casting links.

I am very interested in anything on casting of any kind, especially the
economy type, you know the kind you don't need a huge bankroll to finance, I
don't think  I will have a centrifuge anytime soon but the melting pot/kiln
for melting the metal is one thing I am considering, but do I really need
it, or can I use something more economical for that as well. I have never
done any casting so any info would be helpful thanks.
