Greetings from Slovakia

Hello, my name is Jano and I have just joined the site. I'm an absolute newbie that has never done anything out of metal in my life, however I am eager to learn. I would like to learn iron casting so that I can cast sculptures  or parts out of iron and any advice where to get started on the quest of learning this fascinating art will be greatly appreciated  :)

 

Thank you in advance  :)

Welcome Jano. I'm also a newbie and I have done a little casting with aluminum. I suggest you start there. Iron needs more than double the melting temp of aluminum to melt. If you don't have casting sand you can mix silica sand with baby oil. Or filter regular sand on an old window screen to get the big pieces out for a smoother cast. I also would like cast iron, but I want to master aluminum first. Either way dude, good luck.
