[TheForge] Foundry letter sets

Mon Feb 11 21:18:03 2002

I'm not sure what "foundry letters" are, but if you are making a sand cast, I
have seen letters at hobby lobby that could be glued to a plaque to use in
making the mold.  They are cheap plastic but would make a nice impression in
rammed sand.
