Practical Casting explains many aspects of small scale casting with clarity and comprehension. Readers will appreciate the hundreds of helpful drawings, and advanced craftspeople will find shortcuts that make their work more efficient.
Included is instruction in the traditional lost wax method from modelmaking through investing and burnout to the casting itself. Later chapters teach sand casting, direct methods like cuttlefish and bronze casting.
