    Thanks to all of you for the wisdom, generous tips and heart-felt
    encouragement. I have ordered all of my needed materials and plan to
    practice casting with brass next weekend. After reading your
    responses I now wonder what I was so afraid of - failure I guess :-) 

    Life is about learning, so let me get on with it ;-) 

    Thanks once again to all of you for the gentle shove.

    P.S. I just wanted to add a side note for those who were concerned
    about me casting in the garage. I'd rather cast here so that no
    contaminants make into the lungs of my cats or dog, who always find a
    way into my basement studio no matter how hard I try to keep them out. 

    I have 2 fire extinguishers - 1 in the garage and 1 in the basement
    and I have long since moved typical garage stuffs out of there - so
    no gas cans, oil cans cars or any other combustibles.
