bronze casting | forged bronze Hey friends, If all goes well I'll soon be commisioned to make some sculptural newl posts and railing in bronze. I've only used it for cap rails and have never forged any. It sounds like forging the silicone bronze is fun and I'm wondering what the working temps are and does it show color at those temps. Does it get contaminated by tools/abrasives that have been used on steel? Piétà Africaine

bronze | bronze casting | casting | copper | smelting | tin Hey all, I'm trying to get ahold of straight 90/10 CuSn Bronze for some bronze age tools and experiments. C90700 Phosphur Bronze is about as close as I can come to it with a commercially available product. I was thinking of simply smelting my own, but the cost of copper is just insane right now. $7.67 per pound for copper is just nuts. Equipment Needed

bronze casting 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. Cores for Ceramic Shell Casting

Casting bronze casting | bronze sculpture | ceramic shell | core | lost wax casting New here - hope I'm doing this right! I have a question about cores for ceramic shell casting. I teach a foundry class, so I am no newbie. Generally for hollow pieces I cut out a section or make sure the piece is designed so that the center will build up a shell and be able to dry properly. But, I am now doing some foundry work for another artist out of my studio of some small animal figures. These are a little too big to cast solid (though I can if necessary), but a little too small for a large enough opening to allow the shell to make a strong core -- soooooooo.....I have been looking into using some sort of core material.  |
