I referred to them as "workers" for lack of a better word but this is not a full time job for anyone there. Iron pours happen three or four times a year I'm told. Some of the people you see are artists, some are students, some I think were volunteering; I don't really know all the details but they pour a lot of bronze from the looks of things. I saw a LOT of cast bronze while there and a smaller amount of aluminum.I don't know what, specifically, was being poured while I was there because the molds weren't broken open before I left. As for the scratch blocks, they provided them "blank" for Jessica and I, so we each carved one for ourselves to keep. She plays World of Warcraft (Horde) and I'm an armchair Egyptologist so hers is on the left, mine on the right. The molds appear upside down because I had to stand on the far side of where the pouring was happening. They're shown right side up in the second pic:....[ATTACH]197538[/ATTACH].....Once completed I snapped a shot with my cell phone but one of my techs is going to grind off some flash and possibly sand blast one, or both of them so they're currently in his hands. Here's how the finished product looked when we brought them home (crummy cell phone pic):.....[ATTACH]197539[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
