haha, that's a loaded question. the basic steps are this: make an original make a mold of that make wax copies in that mold mold those copies into a molding compound burn out the wax leaving an empty space that is the opposite of the original (thus the name "lost wax") pour in molten metal pull out metal pieces that look like the original bang, done! there's a lot of great videos of the whole process on youtube. i've learned a lot from them. |
