[TheForge] Bronze casting

[Rich Maynard]

Hi all,

A friend of mine is into recreating Stone Age daggers, arrowheads etc and
wants to move into the Bronze Age! He want's me to help (I've done a bit of
smithing on a small gas forge - but in the middle of London, it's the only
option!) We're going to have a go at making some bronze arrowheads.

We think we've settled on soapstone for a mould (but not definately - any
more suggestions!)

Can I put a crucible of some sort into the forge? What should I be looking
for in a crucible?

Any tips?

Thanks,

Rich.
