What materials need to start the casting of metals? ?
All good sites on how to. I remember doing in college wax sculptures of cast plaster and then crossing them in silica or something?
if you took a class in which they remember that you need a oven, hob, elevators, full of branches, if you also buy a welder (tig preferably so you can make bronze) you can make your own sliders, if do not have to buy. I do not know how much is a furnace, but I'd be surprised if the material is much less than $ 10,000. Unless you build your own, but depending on their experience security can not be the real problem with that. Although if you want to make the size of the jewelry (probably about a quarter of a pound or what can happen with a blowtorch large propane – no small plumbers. Although there are pleasant induction pots can melt up to 3 pounds of bronze (around $ 1,000). It is also oven required exhaustion of the necessary size of their investments. You will have all the safety equipment (gloves, leather welding, face), modeling wax, sprues wax, a small propane torch is really useful, but if you have patience you can use only a candle, help with the work of wax. Depending on the size you is working you need abrasive tools, ranging from Dremel tools for angle grinders. Welding equipment may be necessary. If you do things bigger a die grinder (sorry, you need a compressor or a grinder too flexshaft good) is more powerful than a Dremel tool. I suggest you take another class if you want molten metal. It is cheaper to buy all the equipment and because you do not remember what to do, it will be much safer as well. If you still want to set up his own foundry, pay attention in class and the teacher of errors with questions and make sure that actually participate in all aspects of a shed and you can do without the help of the teacher. Then you're ready to test by yourself … but for something bigger than you need at least a better than two trustworthy people who know what they do well.
