Sand casting is basically a relatively simple way to start casting without the need for expensive equipment that’s usually required for casting on a larger scale. It’s a great way to cast simple and even not so simple forms for one off pieces or small scale production. It’s not a replacement for traditional casting, and if you’re wanting to create multiples of identical pieces on a cost effective basis, I’d still be sending that out to an external casting company. But, for creative folks looking to cast found objects, or wax carvings for one off pieces, it’s certainly a fabulous (and fun) option.
As always, please ensure you’re working safely and working in a well ventilated area! Safety glasses and closed toe shoes are a must for this, together with suitable clothing and a preferably a shop apron too to protect from any splashes. I recommend working on a tray with a rim around the edges to ensure nothing accidentally rolls off the work surface and onto your foot!
