Centrifugal or Lost Wax Jewelry Casting: For Schools, Tradesmen, Craftsmen by Murray Bovin

A thorough reference covering casting by the centrifugal or lost-wax method, written by Murray Bovin. Many of the techniques used commercially are explained in detail, making this an essential resource for professional jewelers, tradesmen, and craftsmen alike. While plenty of tips are included for those newer to the craft, the depth and breadth of content make it equally valuable for experienced metalworkers seeking to refine or expand their casting practice.

The book walks through the full casting workflow, with dedicated chapters on mold making, casting waxes, sprueing and investing, burnout, and centrifugal casting machines. Well illustrated throughout, it provides visual support for technical concepts that are often difficult to convey in text alone.
