Check out The Little Torch. Look at jewelry supply sites like Rio Grande Jewelry Supply.

You want to look for a small diameter head – about 1/2" – that is labeled as a "brazing torch" that uses MAPP gas. It will cost under $20. If you think you need a lot of heat, the Hot Head torch is a common choice for glass bead learning and puts out a lot of heat at the price of being noisy, under $50 the last I looked. Either torch will screw to the top of a disposable bottle, but is easier to use with an extension hose with the same thread on one end and a 20# propane/MAPP bottle thread on the other.
If you think you are serious long term, you need to think about oxy-propane or oxy-acetyline, which because of the cost of regulators, etc., puts you well over $150 almost instantly for even the smaller equipment.

Comment on Can you use clay for metal casting? by Mike1942f

Mike1942f — Thu, 10 May 2012 00:24:59 +0000

Sure, but it has to be the right clay and baked dry or fired. If you are really using brass it can only be ceramic/pottery clay as any other will melt/burn at the roughly 1900F it takes to melt brass. And depending on the way you make the mold, you will have to do a little bit or a LOT of filing to make it smooth – open face will be the worst. You might want to learn about investment and lost wax casting which is much more precise. http://www.mikegigi.com/metalctr.htm

Comment on What should I wear to model castings if I am pear shaped? by trophyeyes

Wear darker coloured bottoms or skirt (dark colours make things appear smaller) and a bright coloured or detailed top that attracts attention to your top half.

Models usually wear dark skinny jeans, heels and a fitted white t-shirt. It doesn't matter how you dress as they are going to measure you anyway. You can't hide your shape

Comment on Please Answer the following questions about sand casting? by David

those are a lot of very basic questions, you should really do your own work instead of asking someone, if you got a decent book on casting or searched it in the internet you would find most of those. stop being so lazy.

Comment on Which two handed tool is used to remove waste from the casting sand? by northridgeville

northridgeville — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:30:59 +0000

To filter waste (iron/copper/lead scraps) from casting sand, sand that you wish to re-sue would be a sieve.

Cooling drum for mold shaking, casting cooling and sand recycling
is another term.
