Part 2

Continued...

When my 'tree' is complete I carefully add my flask on top, slide my rubber sleeve over ready to add investment mix.

The investment mix is made through a number of steps by thorough instructions left by tutor.

After investing my flask and the mixture is set I pour in the molten silver, once filled the flask is removed and quenched in water. Remove from flask and base.

My pieces are then cut off from the 'tree'. I gave my pieces a good clean in the tumbler because they are still covered in the investment mix. This is how they look before clean up and polishing.

Cleaned up and polished pieces as finished components.
