    I'm interested in doing things more like casting a medal in
    bronze, gold or silver, but with provisions for mounting stones. I
    seem to have gotten a lot of negative responses about the idea. I was
    looking for advice in the use of gold, silver, and bronze in sand.
    Brepohl says nothing negative about it, even says there's absolutely
    no reason not to, and that results can be excellent, but doesn't
    fully explain the process.

    As an aside, I mentioned that my father-in-law spent 50 years in an
    iron foundry as a caster and pattern-maker. Before he retired, he
    used to complain that the new employees kept telling him that the
    work he'd been doing for 40-some years couldn't be done. At least,
    they didn't know how to do it. Donald had it figured out, though. ;-)
