RE: Silver Lining
I figured there wasn't a whole lot on there. That's one of the reasons I wanted to go with .925.
Ha ha, I'm sorry so many things have gone wrong. I know the feeling. Hopefully you're getting it figured out and are able to start seeing some progress. Sometimes it's the little victories that keep us going.
I was just considering today if I wanted to get into pouring, but I would need a fair amount of capital to get that started. I think I'm going to focus on other things, but if the situation changes, I might get some ideas from you about how to start.
It's not that expensive to start. I just have a crucible, whip and some Map gas. Total cost is under $40. My biggest issue was not getting it hot enough. It took more patience than I had, now I'm taking my time. Give it a shot, it's fun.
Really? You don't have to get a furnace or something to heat it up? $40 you say?
Whip, is that like whipping cream? Come on! I'm loving pouring already. Pour me some more of that! :P
Here is the setup I got. $12.50

Here is a good starter mold. $12.50

Then you just need a torch and gas.
Thanks for the ideas! That's seems really doable. I'm going to look into it more. Here's a small thank you for you. :)
Thanks man! Let me know if you have any questions, I'll try to help.
