Thanks nifty!

And Greaseball, my intention is NOT to hijack this thread!
I just tought I'd share some of the stuff I've done in my basic home foundry...

I'm a graphic designer and most of my time is spent behind a computer screen... I LOVE my work, dont get me wrong, but this hobby let's me go back to what brought me to the arts in the first place: hand's on creativity...

It doesnt get more 'real' than molten metal!

I've visited 'commercial' foundries (NOT art related) and I wouldnt work there!
It's a 19th century trade with 19th century work conditions.

Art foundries, that's another thing.
The projects are stimulating and always different.
