Anyone know anything about this? I'd like to give it a go but don't have a clue, can anyone give me some advice, books, websites etc?
My uncle went through a phase of casting bronze age axe heads for a while, I don't know much about them but I could take a picture of one if you want!
Hi.I can fully recommend one of the bronze casting courses run at flag fen near Peterborough.I attended one a couple of years ago and i thought it was brilliant!!We done 'lost wax' casting.We made a model of our objects from special casting wax,covered 'em in clay and horsepoo mix..(no,really)the wax was then burnt out of the mould and the copper alloy was then poured in.when these had cooled we broke them open to reveal our castings!All this was done in an authentic ironage round house over the course of a weekend.Great fun.Are you looking for a course or doing it yourself?P.s.its all a bit more involved than my description...
I'd love to do a course but the price means I'll have to wait for a while. What kind of wax was it?
