      Some of our brass BLB's being made and packed (yes, we place a large order)…..The red things are the wax moulds and when built up like that are called trees.  The trees get surrounded by powder under a mixture of vacuum and pressure, then molten metal  is forced into the tree, melting the wax and forming the item....

                  The way Josh does this is next level sophisticated, that is why the quality is off the scale.  Dude even makes his own silver and gold alloys as he trusts no one else to do it to his exacting standards…

                    No worries Giles. Snowys post filled in the gaps. Tbh, I just had a bit of a moment. Kinda misunderstood the pictures.. ::)
