Join Ron Hood as he travels to Romania on a quest for Bronze... Bronze is one of the cornerstones of civilization. Ancient metalworkers learned to manufacture this metal around a simple campfire. The skills they discovered and the techniques they uncovered are all explored as Ron takes you on a tour of Romania's historical artifacts and treasures. You will see the process as copies of some of these ancient artifacts are made for later casting into bronze. In this DVD you will learn, up close, the basics of modeling, copying, mold making, casting and aging of bronze. Watch Ron get his face cast into a bronze life mask from start to finish. This DVD does not include instructions for constructing your own foundry. But it does teach you, up close, all about preparing and casting of Bronze as you watch and learn.

Excellent video on moldmaking and pouring!
The description of the video needs to be rewritten to emphasize its great mold making info.
This turned out to be a very complete mold making video using silicon to copy items, and lost wax method to cast with a real artist demonstrating it. and a little travel & history in beginning of dvd... but most is on demonstrating the making of castings.
You will learn some great tips in this one.
