Sqnd casting process to make a casting of another object , i chose a hand

1. Sand Casting
Here is my experiment using the sand casting process.
Here is my slideshow on the process.
The process to start with is to chop into the sand until
it is fine then place the sand in the mould. You need to
make sure that you use the section with the lip on the
bottom. Each half has a marker and these have to be
aligned.
You need to fill the bottom half and then gently
hammer the sand and press the piece that you want to
make a casting of. Then next step is to put a small
amount of talcum powder around the piece and brush
away the excess.

2. Here you can see the tools you will need to complete the
casting process.
• Casting sand and casting container.
• Metal ruler.
• Small paint brush.
• Talcum powder.
• Small drill bit.
• And a knife.

3. When the casting pot is ready the next process
is to set your self up at the furnace.
• Place the melting pot at the furnace.
• Gather the metal for casting , for this I
chose to use scrap silver.
• Place your metal in the crucible, when using
silver only use this crucible for silver. The
idea behind this is to save any
contamination with your metal.
