yes ive searched the forums, i read (i think) all of the pages on casting blocks and i know its hard to cast copper but i think i can do it and i also already have all the equipment i need

i think ill do a lost foam casting because its easy to make the mold and ill probly cast it in sand then mill the base of it flat i cant mill a block from scratch because ill be getting my dad to mill the base at his work and they dont have any small milling bits

so? anyone done it ? even in aluminium mabie ?
