    Todd, I strongly urge you (if you haven't already) do yourself a
    favour and use the Delft technique with easier shapes. Get a feel
    for the process. Have some fun and build your understanding of it.
    Get some important experience and confidence with the technique. 

    I use Delft a lot, and recently I was shown how to cast from the
    side! Very useful for pouring a rod-shape when I want the sprue on
    the end. Or a ring when I want the sprue on the top.
