Casting parts (newbie)
I'm brand new to this. I've been doing a lot of hobby stuff, and I've hit a dead end in a project. I can either go to a shop and get something made for hundreds or spend slightly more and be able to do it myself over and over.
Thankfully, I work somewhere I can buy a crucible and oxy-acetylene torch for melting some metals. My problem is casting.
The parts don't need to come out perfect, and I'm no stranger to sanding and shaping, I'm just curious about what the best way to cast custom parts would be.
I have a decent amount of copper on hand, so that is a possible metal I would use. Otherwise, it would be bronze or brass. I am currently working on a box for a battery to go into (better looks mostly), but I'd like to cast some nice terminals for it that I can fit screws into.
