Title: Cast parts
Post by: on March 22, 2011, 11:53:51 PM

Having the benefit of a home foundry, I made patterns and cast the yoke as a single piece.  The material for the carrier block was also cast in bronze. I have reproduced the name plate in sterling silver ( investment casting).

WOW that\'s great Is the medallion historiclly correct. It looks great. It hard to get casting to come out that smooth.

The one on the left is from Paul at RGG, I used it to make a mould to produce the one at right in silver.

That plate is amazing. I\'m not sure how to do my one. Very impressive.
