Thread: Gold pins and washers

Casting is a whole different game, and I don't have the ambition to get skilled in that for now.
Setting it up would be costly just for the sake of 2 pins.

Not thee, but a local custom jeweler. The metal sprues and vents remain after the casting is done and the object is removed.
Seen here, the blue structure is the sprue system, prior to casting. From the U of Wash. ::

Hello Gent's, Geezer, said what I was eluding to- Check with a local Jeweler/Goldsmith Bruno, and ask them to : "Draw" out a piece wire for your project, most will happily do it and in short order too.

I can cast up what you need as soon as I re-setup my casting machine as it has been moved for remodeling my in house work area. I am just recovering from a botched back operation and subsequent infection that was cut open 3 times to get it out, so, has slowed everything I do way down, but am getting better now. I want to help anyone I can.

Crap, that sounds terrible. Feel better!

@Bruno: That's true that'd be a pain in the butt process, but I am a master at hair-brained ideas and wouldn't be surprised if you were secretly posting this to justify starting gold casting
