DESCRIPTION:Metal casting\n\nMark Feldman 's demo today was a terrific su
 ccess. Over 25 members attended and were captivated by Mark's easy style
  of presenting an area most of us have little experience with - metal ca
 sting. Mark started off discussing the materials he uses and then quickl
 y got into casting his first piece. This was a small anvil with a hammer
 \, using a soapstone mold made from an old sink. Mark surprised us when 
 he took out the casting and there with raised letters was\, "CDBA". Mark
  then encouraged anyone who was interested to try their own hand in pour
 ing a casting and most everyone ended up with their own CDBA anvil. Mark
  latter demonstrated sand casting and turned out a highly detailed belt 
 buckle with a dragon on it. A very successful meeting and demo. A specia
 l treat towards the end of the day\, planned no doubt so as not to inter
 rupt with today's demonstration\, our next month's demonstrator\, James 
 Arlen Gillaspie\, walked in! Of course\, like last month when he also su
 rprised us at the end of the day\, he brought along a piece of ancient b
 ody armor he was repairing for a client collector. Very special!! WARNIN
 G! DO NOT MISS the July 27th meeting at Breitenback Castle in Altamont. 
 Not only will James be demonstrating his refined and top of the art skil
 l in making and repairing armor but the Castle itself is not to be misse
 d nor is Thom's Blacksmith shop!
