Otto Frei and Rio Grande also carry it, but I've found the other sites more affordable for sheet metal and wire. D'Arsie, my metal smith teacher also teaches.... lost wax burn out? Is that right? I don't think that's quite it. But I'm guessing it's what you do. Creating the wax piece, making a mold, then filling the mold with molten metal to create a 3d piece. That may be my next class.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638777927479610157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-22512723213738596832011-01-28T17:28:48.845-05:002011-01-28T17:28:48.845-05:00Nice list of suppliers.

Metal is one of my loves too and expands your horizons. I've got Tim M's book too...good but very technical.SummersStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250150360701388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-73603516239231221522011-01-28T15:50:01.959-05:002011-01-28T15:50:01.959-05:00I have checked out The Complete Metalsmith also.

Although I work with molten metal I admit I have never used the torch. I would also be nervous about a KABOOM! in my basement studio.DArsie Manzellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332506315386916128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-80787435798216097852011-01-28T14:26:59.987-05:002011-01-28T14:26:59.987-05:00I've been so tempted to start making my own me...I've been so tempted to start making my own metal components... I recently got my hands on a book about making metal jewelry components, and I've been reading it every night before I go to sleep. Although I'd love to start working more with metal, I think I'll have to wait - my garage is still full of glass tools!VanBeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721173813057192461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-46043461704318346612011-01-28T11:21:12.733-05:002011-01-28T11:21:12.733-05:00Great post!

I like monsterslayer.com too, but have also been known to ogle the metal tubing (brass, stainless steel, copper at the local hardware store.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745889026665681137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-35910719444022284932011-01-28T10:28:07.140-05:002011-01-28T10:28:07.140-05:00how wonderful that you took this class with your h...how wonderful that you took this class with your husband! yes, i feel that same way when starting from scratch, it is very rewarding... i love www.monsterslayer.com for sheet and wire... i seem to have the opposite problem, i am too fearless with the torch... surely there is a balance!mairedoddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518352870828784085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010443633955755126.post-16515909338441118852011-01-28T10:22:46.206-05:002011-01-28T10:22:46.206-05:00I love metal too!

I'm just now getting back into it and have been looking for classes so that I don't have to just figure everything out myself. I have fired my torch many times though without classes! I was a rebellious child though, so if my mother said I would burn the house down, I probably argued! ;o)Artisan Beads Plushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162473523455499816noreply@blogger.com
