Steve, there's a book I think may still be in print somewhere
that has burn-out oven plans -- try Lapidary Journal Books. The
"Handbook of Lost Wax or Investment Casting" by James E. Sopcak
(ca. 1968) published by Gembooks is an interesting resource.
There may be something better and newer -- anyone?? -- but this
book has plans for a pressure casting machine, an investment
mixer that processess investment in a vacuum, a wax wire
extruder, a wax injector, and has info on rubber mold-making, wax
modeling, burn-out and casting and more. Since metal casting has
been around for at least 4,000 years, give or take, Sopcak's book
is only slightly dated in comparison. And lots of his material
is truly ageless.
