    I'm new to casting except for casting lead bullets for many years. I hope to learn a lot here and I'm
    sure I'll have lots of questions. I have my supplies on order, meanwhile attempting a wax pattern
    for an iron age axe. I found wax too expensive for the small amounts, am trying citronella wax from my
    wife's yard sale plunder, seems to work fine, plus it makes the shop smell good.

    Hi John, looks like you finally made it.
    Any idea what the problem was???

    Welcome John. Good luck with the Axe. As we say, pictures or it didn't happen

    ...and keeps the bugs away!

    Best,
    Kelly
