So I thought I would share a nice experience I had this weekend. I participated in a Bronze casting class: Bronze Casting — The Center for Wooden Boats .
At their Cama Beach facility:
Cama Beach — The Center for Wooden Boats
They taught how to construct a furnace, design and cast Bronze. I had a great time, learned how to pound sand :lol: and cast using the sand cast method. It was a full two days 9-5.
I made this among a few other casting during the two days:
This is before finishing and polishing of course. Many of the participants made hardware for the boats they were building.
So I was told they will be having this class again in mid April, if you're interested give CWB a call and sign up. Cabins at Cama can go quickly.
