ArtMetal

My husband, Matt, is a sculpter and we are starting a small foundry in Florida. We need to get set up to cast his work immediately but would also like to take on other artists work as well. I have been all over the internet looking for the equipment we need. There are so many options and I don't think that I've come close to finding them all. We have to be set up to cast medium sized sculptures. I listed some of the items that we need below and hope that someone here can point me in the right direction.

- Burn out kiln: Gas is preferable. Must have a receptacle for wax reclamation. Has to be relatively portable (can't be really small)
- Bead blasting cabinet: fully outfitted (vacuum, recycler, etc...)
- Slurry supplies
- Slurry mixers

Also, if anyone has any information on vacuum casting (opinion/resource) that would be great.

Thanks in advance for any information or advice!
