Is making LEGO pieces from sand casting possible?

Is there anyone out there who make their own LEGO pieces? If it is possible, how do i make the mold? I was thinking of using candle wax as the mold and use Wood’s metal as the LEGO piece. Would it cause some damage to the LEGO piece?
I do not think that you can work precise enough to get working pieces.
If you want to have Lego cheaper than the store prices, buy second hand. (Yard sales, car-boot sales or flee markets are a good hunting ground, as well as the websites that circulate free or cheap secondhand goods.)
If you want your Lego to have special colours, try it, but be willing to risk a few pieces in making molds. First make a few and see if they work before spending a lot on them.
