Lost Wax Method Bronze Casting Photos - stage 1 wax burn

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 :)
