Years ago I bought these two books with the plan to get a lost wax foundry (and maybe sand) up and running some day.
"Lost Wax or Investment Casting" by James E. Sopcak
and
"Li'l Brthea", A Compact Electric Resistance Shop Furnace" by David J. Gingery
Have any of you built any of this equipment? How's it working? A buddy of mine made some of Sopcak's equipment, says it works good. I saw on the internet a guy who built Gingery's furnace using soft fire brick rather than the castable refractory.
Many thanks in adavnce, Bob
