Swamimalai casting workshop film

So... after that post saying I was pretty much ready to admit a permanent break on this project, it seems things are moving again.

This short film shows a bronze casting workshop in Indian that is using the lost wax technique.

It has some fairly amazing modern images of methods that seem unchanged through time. I especially like the giant foundry tongs that are used by 2 men to pick up the vessel of molten metal. I'm now super excited to make some models. We have a big event coming up in a week and a half: Lochac Midwinter Coronation. After that there should be time to spend on this. Back on board!
