hsifengWe had a nice Sunday up visiting with folks at the Renaissance Symposium, where we met up with our gunsmith and got our powder flasks. The pictures I took of the flasks were *horrible*, so I will need to post new images later, but we also got a chance to check out some of Dale's original bullet casting equipment.
Dale had two different molds, both a single and a double:
These are cast bronze, with forged handles:
The forged bits pass through a eyelet on the back of the bronze and wrap around the edge to secure them in place:
Who knows, we might try to talk someone we know who does some lost-wax casting into making us some 'chambers' that hubby can then forge handles for!
