Lost-Wax Casting
This book,
by Dr. Fred R. Sias, is a basic introduction to lost-wax casting with
emphasis on jewelry making. Designed to be used both as a textbook and
as a reference book, it is directed primarily at beginners. However,
the experienced caster will find some useful ideas and new techniques.
Heavy emphasis is placed upon understanding why things are done in a
particular way, rather than simply presenting a set of cookbook
rules that will always work.
