Lost-Wax Casting: Old, New, and Inexpensive Methods, Paperback/F. R. Sias

Descriere

This book is a basic introduction to lost-wax casting with emphasis on jewelry making. It is designed to be used both as a textbook and a reference book and is directed primarily at beginners. Experienced casters, however, will probably find some useful ideas; they may even find some new techniques. Heavy emphasis is placed upon understanding why things are done in a particular way, rather than simply presenting a set of cookbook rules that will always work. The book is also available in a 8. 5x11 inch comb-bound version for use in the shop or classroom. See ISBN 0-9679600-1-0.
