    I'd love to try the bronze casting!! Any chance that a few students could get some hands on experience?

    Umm...maybe. But letting newbies play with 1000C furnaces and molten metal is usually frowned upon. Post on http://livinghistory.ie, and ask if there are groups doing casting - ask them to let you know when their next event is on. If nothing else, you could be a bellow's pumper, or a charcoal fetcher :)

    Suits me mate!!!! Btw, I was a wizz at metalwork in school... used to specialise in forge and wrought work, so I'm used to the heat. That was a time ago, though...
