Casting Bronze...

I made a short video of casting some bronze eagle heads today. Thought you might get a kick out of it.

Shame I didnt get a picture of some of the PC swords that got mounted with the eagles before they went out, but you get the idea.

Did I see you pouring your ingots on bare concrete?

yeah, that was my first thought too! You really should have the casting area around the furnace and the path to the vaccume flash area with a DRY sand bed.

I know it is a back yard set up, but safety should still be a number one priority. I have always heard that concrete is a BIG NO NO.

But the results are nice, just hope you don't get wounded by the process when and if a spill happens.

Aye,... Properly Warned Ye Be says I

True. It's not safe. We did preheat the area first but even then bad things can happen. I guess after doing it hundreds of times the fellas can get a bit cocky :)

BTW you didnt see me pouring anything. That's my older brother Kerry and Tony Cavey.
