    First I want to thank everyone on here for the help, suggestions and such in getting me started casting.

    I found this old bar-b-que grill in a dump, remodeled it a bit, painted to match my buildings. Rain proof
    and I don't have to bend down, my old back loves it, storage places for tongs, tools, ingot molds etc. & propane tank when not in use. My forge will set on the left side table, the right side still has the burner in
    case I want to make a hamburger while waiting on the melts. The old propane tank on the ground is going to be a melter for larger pieces of aluminum and cans.

    Some of the castings so far, made some mistakes along the way but best way to learn. The four
    items on top are some of the wood patterns I made, all are brass with forced patina on some, the dagger pattern on center top will be bronze.
