@mikesc @Bert51 This is why I enjoy communicating with the folks here on LeatherWorker. People here enjoy making things and apparently they have all their life. I should be working on some websites right now but instead I am sewing some Cordura tool pouches for a client and really enjoying myself.

You said it,  "really enjoying myself" and that is what I feel that matters most.

It's awesome the stuff I learn here, some of which has very little to do with leather working!

Until this evening, I knew pretty much squat about sand casting! I had no idea the sand could be made to hold it shape, or that there could be a secondary mold inside the first one so the resulting piece was hollow inside.

On the matter of sand casting. I know it as 'oil sand'. I've used it for making belt ends amongst other things. The belt ends were made in pewter. I found this old picture of one I made a long time ago. The belt/strap end was copied from one found in a field. I made my original copy in layers of plastic card then packed oil sand under and on top of it. Split the oil sand mould, took out the plastic strap end, closed up the mould and poured in molten pewter through a pouring shaft hole. About 10 minutes later I split the mould and took out my metal strap end. The sand mould gets destroyed in taking out the metal strap end as some pewter is in the pouring hole and a vent shaft. But it only takes a few minutes to make the mould again

@Wizcrafts, you are making me feel guilty now.
