    Wax and metal are two different mediums, used for different purposes.
    Comparison cannot be made unless the same person did the same design
    in each medium. Then the advantage or disadvantage of either would be
    realized either by the lack of skill with wax technique or the lack
    of skill with metal technique. Sometimes I start in metal and have to
    go to wax. Sometimes I start in metal and go to wax. Skill is not
    dependent on the medium. Sometimes it is doing it till you get it
    right regardless of the medium. Some pieces are cast and fabricated.
    Cast the piece that was too hard to fabricate and fabricate the piece
    that would be easier to make that way.
