Hi Fred,

 

If you are interested in home foundry work there is a huge amount of information and advice on the web. Much more than in the magazine, which was interesting. A good place to start is here he has lots of links. Supplies can often be obtained form a local jobbing foundry (they are usually very interested in our work) or here (excellent service). You cold do no better than to look up Myfordboy’s casting videos on YouTube

 

It is well worth researching as there is a great deal of information for you to get clued up on what is required. I am about to experiment with a furnace based on an empty discarded (French domestic) propane bottle and home made refractory. Wish me luck

 

Here are a couple of Myfordboy’s videos to whet the appetite:
