Very cool spoon!
Casting in Green sand, Petrobond or (Delft) clay is indeed less suited for detail and a smooth surface finish. And cumbersome with regard to finish, but a great entry point for casting. Will say Delft Clay is best of choice in my experience, more oil in the substance, better cohesion and clearance of model. Air venting en flow of silver is where we learned the most. Also, heating the clay a bit before pouring seemed to help (but not to much, because of the release of oil when heating). Have tried a couple of models with detail, but best do detail with lost wax as you mentioned. We have been playing with Braluminium, alloy of bronze and aluminium. While not suited for collectibles, nor precious, good stuff!
Thanks for the inspirational post and valuable comments of others. Maybe a Pyrite version of the spoon for BCH? (though Pyrite is brittle, and toxic when heated)

I heard a couple of weirdo Dutch people are pouring precious metal in clay... Turning them into clunky, yet strangely attractive crypto bars...

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening,Wanting to sell: Number 6 of our second series, the BTC bar + free bonus BTC tile The bar:- This .999 silver bar is poured in Delft (The Netherlands), using the Delft clay method. - About 4 hours work on each (and that's squeezing it). - Stamped with serial number, logo and weight in OZT: 3.2 OZT. - The bars of this BTC series are funded with an amount of BTC which reflects the weight in OZT. This bar is funded with 0.032 BTC. - Qr code of public address on the back of the bar, private key beneath a self destructive holographic sticker on the front. - Address and key etched with a laser on titanium plating with the use of Laserbond. - Placed a piece of paper between the titanium and holographic sticker, somewhat smaller size as the titanium, to keep the etched key free from stickyness (if bar is ever redeemed). - Front of the bar is polished, but it has have dents, pits, scratches and pouring marks, no perfect mirror finish.

hey there, just saw ur litecoin silver bars at the market section and had to ask if u are doing or planing to create some bitcoin bars again? saw on ur twitter that you already created some of these. would appreciate a quick response sincerely, your neighbour from germany (greetings to the netherlands) Yes, hoping to finsh up bars 7 - 10 next week of the BTC series, bar 10 is sort of bespoken. Need to finish the last three of the 1 LTC Lealana homage bars as well. BTC Bar 6 is almost done. We sold these for about 250 Euro's, so sticking with that price to do honor to our previous customers. So, price would be 250 Euro + the amount of BTC of funding. If in Europe, shipping is on me. PM me if you want BTC Bar 6. Can ship in a couple of days. We are getting better / quicker at pouring, lasering (the entire process), we probably will do a Monero and ETH of similar size and then we should move to something different, before it gets stale... After we finish these 'regular' sized bars of our second and third series, we are focusing on something we are calling the BTCrick

Such is the fall of the Romans, to decadence - more specifically, to seeking out their carnal desires above such foreign concepts like patience and restitution. Yea, the dawn of fortune admonishes against inaction, yet the act thereof may itself be an action; in the eyes of a global network, it is conducive to follow status quo principles of respect for standardized rules.
In the unlikely event of a 1:1 mapping between cryptographic and worldly identities, one may allude to the justification of indignant behavior. Yet given incomplete information and applications of Occam's Razor to improbable events, such remarks may be dismissed in lieu of conventional, pragmatic logic.
Mind, persistent consecutive posts may attract the attention of staff wherein a possibility of a ban for evasion thereof grows from the attention brought forth by the postings.
Eloquently written sir Hats off

Hello, Some time ago, in another forum life, I was contacted for this coin: Can't remember who, but was busy with life and think I never responded (and was / am happy with the coin). Did not know it could / might have been a piece of someone's puzzle. I did load it with 2.017 LTC ... If this is a missing piece of your puzzle, you can PM. Clay Edit: Or is it just about having the right scratchcard (and not the matching sets + scratchcard)?

Quick update- I am beyond appreciative of the donations that have been offered by a handful of members for this charity auction. I am waiting on a few things to ship to me before I can kick it off, so I wanted to let those whom are donating know as well as give a heads up if anyone else wants to add to this auction, you've still got time. Couple of our finest coin makers have generously offered up items so I think this should be a great bunch of items and a big win for this cause that needs all the help it can get. Viral photo many of you have surely seen of some local Australian hero's using their car to rescue as many of these cute slow moving bears as they could. Inspired me to create this auction so thought I'd share (image is not my own). Hello there, We Dutchies want to help. I think my kitties told me to have a heart. Also, if sea level rises, hopefully someone will help us with our wet feet. What's the timetable? We move slowly, but surely can help. Clay Magpie Taskmaster

ClayCastCrypto Fair Enough! Thank you. I like your work Do you still have series one for sale
Thank you. We don't have one for sale. We will keep the last bar of our first series, for now... Four of our second series and five of our third series still need to be finished, assembled and funded. Will put them for sale in a couple of weeks hopefully: Just wanted to share with everyone, I have one of these bars that's being auctioned and they look really beautiful in person, It does give that old bars look that some of the Engelhard and JM bars have.. https://imgur.com/a/zf1M7e1Thank you, Mr. Lucky! And it seems the un-gradable... can be slabbed: ... Couple of hours left for these hand-made LTC Tenths... Clay
