Do I know anyone in the Netherlands with a furnace and the ability to cast small(ish) items in bronze ?
@sl007 was thinking more hobbyists or makerspaces with the equipment...
@quixoticgeek
yep, I thought so.
I guess it is very complicated to do the forms with small equipment if it should be real bronze (which is a nice material, no doubt)?
@th depends. The one in Drenthe, or the one they sold to the Brits?
@quixoticgeek Ik zie een paar dingen op Google onder bronsgieterij / metaalgieterij. Mogelijk levert dat opties op in jouw buurt. De meesten zullen vrij flexibel zijn qua maatwerk.
PS. I’m assuming you speak Dutch, if not, sorry!
@cassana my Dutch isn't great unfortunately. But I can understand your tweet with a little help. Shall investigate.
@quixoticgeek OK, phew… I did have a slight hunch, hence the PS.
OMFG!
I've read "Neanderthal".
Try to contact Rustinox, IIRC he's from Antwerp: maybe he can give you some clues.
@quixoticgeek
phew, do you mean really to pour it? There are plenty of places _near_ NL in Kevelaer or Münster (survived in places where they can also do religious fetish stuff).
