Lost Wax Casting with Joe Silvera (updated)
This a new version of the lost wax casting overview video that I posted years ago. It has better video and audio quality and more information. Lost wax casting is making a wax model, molding it in plaster investment, burning out the wax in a kiln, and then filling the void with molten metal. The wax model is lost, but transformed into metal, like sterling, gold, etc. This video shows attaching the models to sprues, investing them in steel flasks, starting the burnout, centrifugal casting, cutting off and grinding off the sprues, and polishing with a tumbler, I hope you like it. We offer classes in lost wax casting and jewelry at Silvera Jewelry School in Berkeley, CA.
