Casting is such a fun process but can be extremely dangerous unless you take proper measurements to carefully protect yourself. Accidents happen even to masters of the craft and molten metal will burn through your skin in no time. To avoid serious injuries please follow these simple steps.

Footwear is extra important as there is a big chance some molten metal will spill and hit your feet. Heavy leather work shoes are imperative. Synthethic materials will burn into your skin never coming out. Ouch. Don't risk it.
