    Casting scales has been on my "to do" list for quite some time now.

    The only problem has been my being too lazy to get the other thing on my list done
    that being "bring the price of silver down to 15 bucks an oz"

    If you figure your time and equipment $29 USD per ounce isn't expensive.

    I once found a gold class ring dumpster diving! I decided to make another ring from it. I made the top of the mold to thin and was using a vertical centrifugal casting machine. It was hot in my dungeon of a basement and I had no shirt on. When I spun it the bottom of the mold blew out and the gold went to the ceiling and down to my back then into the crack of my rear. I don't know if I still have a scar there because I can't bend that far. My wife was watching and about fell off the stairs laughing at my dance. I am glad the gold was free! (I still saved about 1/2 of it.)

    I did some more I lightened I lightened up the scales quite a bit. I am by no means an artist, but I thought I might as well put some detail into it to see what it would look like finished. I haven't been able to cast the scales, but it's just a matter of finding the time. I'll post some pictures with progress when I can.
