    LOL. Funny that you should say that. My wife was born in 1973. I hope that doesn't make her vintage. :eek:

    Cool stuff, @Eric the Red - I like the Thoth triangle, and those bees you poured.

    Ladymarcovan is a ‘73 model as well. And you and I are less than a year apart in age, Sal.

    Thanks, it was a fun experience making them. I am planning on doing another copper melt soon.

    Yeah I have a whole thread on it, from the unboxing of the Devil Forge the process and first pour.

    I bought the graphite carbon molds online.
    I plan on trying sand casting next pour. With sand casting I can craft my own molds.

    That’ll be interesting to see. Bet all that’s fun. Don’t burn yourself or the furniture! ;)
