    Thanks for your input about casting steel. I've been continuing
    research but cant seem to turn up much. I found a high temperature
    investment, and judging by melting temperature charts our
    Oxy-Acetylene could melt it. But are there any precautions you know
    of? We dont cast copper because it's toxic and we dont have very
    extensive ventilation systems. Is there a problem with toxic fumes
    from steel? Again, any info greatly appreciated. And do you know if
    they sell steel in a casting grain form like they do for silver and
    such? thanks guys. :D 

ciao
Ryan
