    I see he has issues in cracking shells or else he wouldnt be drilling holes and having to patch them before pouring bronze. Those are some funky shaped objects around 2:30 so I can see some of it. Or that real head scratcher around 659. WTF is that?

    Yep that is Dale, Karen and Jack. Dale does use mainly ceramic shells. He pours a lot of bronze/brass. I’ll ask him more in two weeks if I get out to see him.

    Matt, I wanna know what's his method for dewax. Show him this please. I bet he's never seen this before. I haven't cracked anything since going to this method.

    I think it's a chick with a frog tail.:eek: Making a living off just doing this stuff is a tough row to hoe. I'd starve and be homeless if I had to rely on people buying my stuff. I'm looking for a retirement gig down the road and hope bronze is it.:oops:
    For now, I got bills to pay:D

    They did turn out amazing! Your favourite is also mine. It has the best detail around the Windshield, Side windows, Aileron and Elevator . But I also do like the shiny. It’s something about shin gives it bling.

    Finish these off with Johnsons paste wax and an old cotton T-shirt.

    Thanks Matt. YUP, I wax them. I apply bowling alley wax hot and wet. Once it hardens, out comes the t-shirt.;)
