Key casting on the cheap

Here is a quick video on key casting. I wouldnt try the galium as a go to metal. The woods metal worked first time, every time for me.
I usually heat the metal in an old ladle using a blow lamp, (didnt show this on the video for lack of time).
This casting methode works well, easy to use, and cheap.
Enjoy the video.

Do not use Woods metal, as it contains cadmium which is a serious risk to your health! There are plenty of other metal mixes that work the same but are safer. If you want a metal or a kit that just works, get it touch with frenchkey, he sells them :)
