From the Author
As a teacher, I respect the talent of individual artists and their desire to spend time working rather than reading. I've tried to make this book compact, direct, and friendly. It allows a reader to find a needed bit of information quickly, to instantly assess what tools and supplies are needed, and then get to work.

Great Book!!!
Love this book. Lots of ideas and very detailed drawings of how to's. What else would you expect from McCreight?

Practical casting is a great book
Like all of Tim's book this is a keeper. What a great reference to have on hand. I had no prior background in casting and this covers it all from the very basic to the more advanced. A great buy.
