OK John,

I read with great interest about your tour of Japanese foundries. I am considering building a cupola furnace but can

not make it to Japan in the near future. Therefore I will have to

settle for whatever is around here to study.

There's an Iron Pour happening in Minnesota right near here. Read all about it at:

This is a hands on experience for anyone wanting to learn to pour iron. It's geared towards the artist rather than industry. Maybe if I get good enough, I'll get invited to Japan!

I just need to get the pattern ready for my Norwegion Boot Scraper. Eh?

Seriously though,it's amasing what people can do with old technology.
