Hello from New Hampshire

[gadget]

I have a fair amount of lost wax casting experience in lower temp metals like silver/gold/pewter etc.... mostly small parts and jewelry... I built a kiln, vacumm table, etc

I am slowly assembling a hobby forge and a foundry. My expectation is to use the forge to build iron tools (tongs, dross skimmer, hooks and handles) to run the foundry.

The information that I have read so far here has already saved me from wasting time and money....thank you for that

I like casting but I am "warming" up to iron...

nice to "meet" you all

Welcome aboard Gadget, glad to have you. Sounds like you have a hand with tinkering and making, you'll fit right in here. We LOVE pictures and puns. . . Well . . .  SOME of us practice the highest form of humor. Of course I don't speak for everybody, sadly.

This is my blog if your looking for pictures...

I am not very good at posting regular updates.

It might be because I don't know many people who care about this stuff

or it might be that by the time I stop playing and go inside, beer calls to me louder than my computer.
