Been awhile but wanted to say congrats on the new digs, I'll stop in and check it out.
Here's a link to a local foundry maker who also sales supplies like crucibles, sand and casting boxes:

Cool project, I've been wanting to make one of these for some time. Let me know when you have the burner up and running, I have a few things to tinker with. Like the info about the K bond sand also.

Great to hear from you, John! Yes, stop in and see the new space. Thanks for the link. We'll give you a shout when it's up and running.

Argh, the K Bond casting mixture calls for to many unavailable or not off the shelf ingredients. Found a product called Delft Clay that jewelers use for casting, very fine clay with high detail cast that will be much easier to source then others. Here's a link with video instructions:

Found it on FleaBay for $2.50 a pound, be about a week to get here. Patience Grasshopper!!!!

Looks like it has pretty good reviews, and reusable. Good find!
