I buy all my casting grain from Market Harmony. Top Notch service and I can't beat the price anywhere else.

I've played around with 4-1 before. I tried to make a shirt or coif but couldn't stay motivated. I spent hours upon hours but only have about a hand sized piece.

i'll try and find copies of my previous coins they're cast in pewter

the byzantine ones im casting it into a mold that more or less makes it into a sheet then i stamp the blanks out
this is going to be one of my first sets where im striking the coins rather than casting them
