[modeleng] Re: Fw: Casting Iron

John - 
A stateside publisher/distributor of hobby metalworking books -- Lindsay Books 
http://www.lindsaybks.com/prod/index.html -- lists a number of how-to books for 
iron founding.  The Chastain Books are supposedly very informative about iron 
casting.  Gingery wrote at least one book about a furnace which would melt iron 
-- his "Building a Gas Fired Crucible Furnace".  Lindsay also lists some of 
Marshall's books -- see http://www.rockisland.com/~marshall/cupola.html  

Some/many/most of Lindsay-distributed titles are available from distributors in 
other countries.  In Australia http://www.ploughbooksales.com.au/default.htm  
In GB http://www.camdenmin.co.uk/

Good luck!

Charles
