JohnD Report post Posted May 6, 2008 Ryan, Nice, Do you cast them yourself? I've been threatening myself to get into casting, aluminum and brass. I have been collecting pieces parts to build a furnace. I just need to find the time to get it all together. If you do cast them yourself, would you mind letting me pick your brain at some point? Very nice work. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anvilcustoms Report post Posted May 6, 2008 Hey Thanks everyone. Yes I do sell them, have been for about 8 years now. They're fun to make, but tedious little suckers. I do NOT cast them. I have a foundry in IL on the Mississippi River do the casting. Aluminum is ok, but you can really mess things up by melting BRASS. It puts off a HIGHLY toxic fume and is very volital (spelling). Any amount inhaled and cause death or at least land you in the hospital for a spell. Sooooooo.....I decided to let someone else cast and then I do all the tedious dirty work. Glad you like them.
