Today we burnt out the wax in our moulds and then poured the bronze. I have photos of both stages - These images are of the first stage... the wax burnout.
My mould after all 7 coats of ceramic slurry and sand
Melting the wax to remove the ceramic cup created in the center of the mould to allow the wax to melt out
All the moulds in the basket ready to go into the burner
Jamie and Scott opening the burner
Putting the basket of moulds into the burner
Burner all closed up with moulds inside
The process begins.... first there is smoke
Then there is fire!!!!
More photos of the bronze casting pour will follow :)
