This review is from: Centrifugal or Lost Wax Jewelry Casting for Schools, Tradesmen, Craftsmen (Spiral-bound)

This may be an old and revised classic. But compared to a newer flashy Tome with only the basics covered lightly and more space devoted to the work done by the author and or friends. This book has a lot of B&W pictures charts and drawings.

This was last updated before computers so you will be treated to the way it was down before all the over priced equipment how to do it when the idea was to do it with the least cost. The waxes are better today along with the mold making rubbers. But the info has pretty much remained the same. So you could cast it tomorrow after reading it today. It does cover all the areas,including white metal casting and gold refining. These two subjects have been lacking in most of the latter books on this subject. I own it I use it
