Practical Casting: A Studio Reference, Revised Edition - Tim McCreight

Casting is a technique almost as old as metalworking itself, invented and improved in diverse cultures around the world. This practical volume has become a classic since it was first published in 1986. It has established itself as a reliable text in the field, earning three revisions, including the latest incarnation, now in color.

Practical Casting has set the standard for clear explanations and descriptive illustrations that bring complex techniques within the reach of hobbyists and metalsmiths at any level. Early chapters describe lost wax centrifugal casting then following chapters cover direct methods, moldmaking, foundry casting and more.
