More fun with pewter casting

As promised, here are photos of the finished fish plate front and back, and a picture(not very good I am afraid) of the extant fish plate I based my fish plate on. I cast 20 or 30 a few days ago with my new pewter pot. Tonite I cast about 70 more. almost half way to the goal of 200!

fun with pewter casting

As part of my Society for creative anacronism associations here in Madrone in the kingdom of Antir, I am a member of the pewter's guild. I have made a few pewter molds, and been having fun with it. In looking for things to put onto my new blogsite, I found this process photo of a medieval toy, a fish on a platter. I offered to use it for the baronial banquet, and so now I have to get busy and start production. I finally have the mold right, and I got a nice pewter melting pot for my birthday! Later today I will post a photo of a production fish plate, and try to post a photo of the extant fish plate that is in the museum of london. I have about 3 weeks to finish 200 pc. I should be ok.

Welcome to my new blogspace

Hello! I intend to use this space to show some of the work I am working on, we will see how it goes. This is the first of I hope many posts. I am showing here a few of my gothic benches. I have been working on many projects, including pewter casting and felting. Once I get this site up and running I hope to have some of the things I am making available for purchase.
