Hello I am Allen Newberry from over in NW Arkansas. I mostly make knives so some of my casting is related to that. My largest casting was a bronze sword. But, I do some jewelry and I have been itching to make a bell or cannon. I am always trying to figure out new things.
Welcome Allen. We'll look forward to some future posts. Which casting method(s) do you use? Best, Kelly
Welcome! Definitely in the right place to do some learning. There are a lot of years of experience here. And, there are those of us who tinker and re-invent things that the masters already made. As always, pictures or it didn't happen. ;-) We love oooing and ahhhhhing over each others handiwork.
Here is the sword that I cast before I put the patina on as well as some pewter work on a tomahawk and knife that I made. Granted those are a bit more small scale than what you guys are generally up to. But, I figured you might find them interesting and somewhat related.
