MANY YEARS AGO, I SCULPTED AND CARVED THESE VERY ITEMS FROM WAX, and then made a heat resistant plaster mold with the wax items fully engulfed, then burned it out within a furnace at thirteen hundred degrees fahrenheit, leaving an empty hole in the mold. Next I melted the casting silver within the crucible of the centrifuge I own, wound it up and let it go to spinning the molten silver into the mold. And so it goes when you are having fun with a rich mans hobby. Of course I'm not rich at all, but blessed with so many talents. |
