[Jewelry making - Article 00016] - [Orchid] Sand Casting Advice

    Any sand casters out there ? I'm about to begin casting my own
    pieces, and I could use some general advice. My father-in-law was a
    caster/pattern-maker in an iron foundry for 50 years so I've had
    some expert advice. However he's had no experience with other metals.
    I'm starting with artcaster's bronze, and will progress to silver and
    gold later. I'm doing lost wax initially but I might take a tip from
    the iron casters and carve my models in wood. Anyway, speak up, you
    sandbox players !
