Sometimes, you just have to stop and look at things a little differently.

After a bronze or aluminum pour, the leftover spills can cool into some pretty interesting shapes. Every now and then, someone on the team spots an animal, a face, or something completely unexpected, kind of like looking up at the clouds and seeing a picture in them.

It’s a little bit of fun in the middle of a very hot process. 🔥

Enjoy this lighthearted break, because soon we’ll be sharing a big multipart video series exploring the history of patternmaking. From the early days of wooden patterns to the modern methods we use today to create a pattern.
It’s a fascinating part of the foundry process, and there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Stay tuned. There’s a story behind every casting.
