Metal Casting

Last week Mr. Wilander's class did some silver casting. 


First, silver pellets are                      
placed into the spinner




Then the pellets are heated with a flame until the silver is molten.


Then they allow the spinner to spin, therefor pushing the silver into the cast.



Then the silver cast is removed from the spinner, and shaken in a bucket of water.




Once cooled and removed from the cast, the silver ring only needs to be polished up.
