W. Ammen, then this is a good book. However, if you already have "The Metalcaster's Bible" or "Complete Handbook of Sandcasting" then you already have 90% of this book.Most of the illustrations and definitions are right out of these other two books. I was dissappointed with this book because I already had the other two books and bought this book for the new information it contained. There's a picture of a permanent mold being poured on the cover with no further explanation in the book about it. Just a short definition. I had bought this book because I thought it dealt with this process in depth. It does not. The cover is misleading.There is however, a good section on building your own burn out oven for investment casting which is not in any of his other books.As in his other books, some of the definitions are somewhat sketchy. He refers to "sharp sand" throughout the book with no definition of what it is. He tells of a Nitric Acid test for silicon where you let the mixture boil. Does this mean dissolving the metal (bubbling) or actually boiling the acid over a stove. If you try the latter, it could have severe consequences.If I saw this book in a bookstore and had a chance to glance through the pages, I would not have bought it as it's almost a direct copy of his other books. If I did not have his other books, I would buy "The complete Handbook of Sand Casting" or the "Metal Caster's Bible" as they contain the same information and illustrations and are half the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Metalcasting *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2012* This book has tons of useful information! In my own opinion, the author uses advanced terms. I think, the book needs to use more basic terms. I found myself looking up a bunch of terms. But, in the end I do know more because of it. So in conclusion, be ready to look things up. Overall, I give the book 5 stars!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A most have, a complete book about castings *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013* A good one, the book that show you how to do it, this is not a short book, but have everything you need to know. I recommend this widely. The info is complete and there is no doubts flying around and misunderstood. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14701518-metalcasting](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14701518-metalcasting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
