Description
The bronze was heated to 2000 degrees in the cup called a crucible. The photo shows us using the lifting shank that holds the crucible containing the melted bronze. The crucible is then transferred to a pouring shank and then the melted metal is poured into empty molds. When the metal cools the molds are removed and inside is the hardened metal in the shape of the previous mold.
This is what they email me to expain what going on. Thanks Mary & Ken.
