The foundry setup
In which I consider building a furnace and find a commercial one instead.
Collecting and preparing metal stocks

Sands I Have Known
Documentation of the different kinds of casting sand I have used, which is at the moment (1) kind(s).
First failed attempt at sand mold making
Patterns must be 2 parts, a cope and a drag. Now I know!
First experiment in refractory coatings with lost foam
Trying lost foam casting with a limestone shell around the foam.
Second generation lost foam tests
Attempting a single part sand cast again, with greater success, and a raw lost foam piece.
