... ant it worked beautifully!

I must admit that I didn't really expect results from this, seems kinda hokey. To that end, I only spent about 10 minutes making a wax model (that's my disclaimer as to the design of the piece). But curiosity took over, so I screwed a jar lid to a dowel and gave it a whirl:

- I used three 14-Gauge wire sprues
- Scooped out a bowl in the flask using a butter knife
- Home made steam cap with wet paper towels in there.

This little test ran 1.5 hours, start-to-finish including wax modeling, investing, burnout, casting and polish! That's enough to prove that it is worth making a nicer model next time (although I do like rustic).
