Sometimes I need something or have an idea...or Im making a thing to sell.. Pennanular cloak pins are good so are heavy bracelets, buckles, ring blanks, buttons, random crucifixes.. sword hilts, knife guards.. findings for drinking horns.. musket parts.. Knife smiths use custom casting a lot...
Its a handy thing to know..... and if you play it right and do your work public.. it draws a crowd.. you keep the sand and everything in pottery or barrels so it looks all medieval... the tongs an crucibles are the same as 500 years ago.. so they look good.. I use a torch and rosebud for melting... but a charcoal furnace does the job too and looks pretty sexy to the tourists...
