Bronze 
  eagle that I cast when I took Metal Shop in high school (I've always had 
  many varied interests!) but haven't really done anything with any sort of 
  metal since then.  I'm afraid it's been more years than I care to admit 
  since I took that class!  I suspect our Shire would be delighted to have 
  someone (or a team of someones?) who would make really nice tokens for 
  local events though...  That would be neat!

 I have a pamplet on Stone Casting, written by Dame Elizabeth Cadfan of 
 Ealdomere. If you send me your snail mail address, I'll mail it to you.

    There is also TONS of info on this topic in Stefan's Florilegium! A lot 
of it is taken from the Rialto, where I got my first info on soapstone 
casting years back. There are some excellent individual articles on this 
there, too. And if for some reason you can't get to that, I could toss you 
the file of my class notes that I've used when teaching this. It's not nearly 
as good as some of the articles in the Florilegium, since I lost the better 
version in a hard drive crash, but.............. *shrug*
    It *is* best, of course, to learn this one-on-one. I learned it 
completely from online sources, but then I have a background in jewelry work, 
so a lot of the basic ideas were familiar territory. But check around your 
area and see if perhaps there are some folks who do this and would be willing 
to teach you. Maybe check with your kingdom's A&S minister, they might at 
least know who to ask!  :-)
