Please explain "lost foam casting". I can guess at what you mean, but casting metal to make tools is something I know nothing about. I will also do a search on the site, .
The only casting I have done has been with lead. I still have my pot and burner, would that work?
Tel What material did you make that from?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the answer. Do you need a special type of polystyrene foam? I will Google it in a minute.
I would definitely do it outside after reading this part of your answer-
Must be done outside or in excellent ventilation as burning polystyrene give off noxious gasses including cyanide and Dioxins.
I have a cast iron pot that can hold about 60#s of lead. I am not sure the burner can go to that high a temperature. Lead required about 800* F, if I remember right.
Thanks again,
Regards,
Fred
