I found the link I was looking for regarding the sling shot effect.
Spin casting, I know spin casting is used predominantly by the jewelry industry due
to the inherent
small size of the castings. It would probably work wonders for our scale too. Making a
spin caster would be fairly easy.
Try http://www.lindsaybks.com/ for various books on casting. There are
several listed on the web site, but nothing specifically about lost wax
casting. Seems to me there was one in a recent print catalog that you can
order for free from the web site.

Doug,
I'm not Salty, but I would recommend your local community college/Art school. There
are books out there too.
Tim Mc Creight does a good overview for jewelry in the book "Practical Casting" that
could be used for 'one offs' in Gauge 1.
There is also a book called "Casting small Metal
required
to do lost wax investment casting. There are two books that I would
recommend that tells the process. First is Handbook of Lost Wax or
Investment Casting by James E Sopcak, it is a little dated in some respects
but it shows how one might make some of his own equipment. Second

source is TAP Plastics for RTV mold making supplies.

The great thing about Sopcak's book is that he shows you how to make all of
the equipment you will need, including a burnout oven. It's not really that
complicated, it turns out (after all, they were doing this stuff 4000 years ago,
so you must not need CNC equipment).

Since I am retired and my wife is still gainfully employed I have taken over
the kitchen duties - CCBW (chief cook and bottle washer).

is there to say. It tells all about lost wax casting and is aimed
more toward the jewelry making hobby. It describes how you can make equipment
to do lost wax investment casting. I picked up my copy at a local jewelry
supply store. It is a small paper back and should be available through
Amazon.com
