ArtMetal

i just found this site tonight in search of info and am very greatfull this came up. i am very interested in learning how to make a true shape of my hand {from fore arm to fingers}from metal which will later hold a light in palm able to plug in and power. i have zero experience in casting, but know welding and fab work from being ornamental iron contractor, mostly work with tubing, flat plate, and solid bar. torches, multiple welders, plasma.
i did see the archives but am completely ignorant of the terms used and any missing info if i did read from one to the other trying to put pieces together. any direction would be greatly unappreciated so i would not go down wrong roads and waste money on things not needed, etc.
