    You just need some inspiration and a lot of time =)

    Where do you get your low temp pewter from?

    Ebay, I usually find it in > Business & Industrial> Manufacturing & Metalworking> Search Results for 'alloy' there is none listed now. When I get low I start looking. My favorite is MPK lead free with silver. It shines up very nice.

    I recommend MPK because it is lead free and the silver allows it to shine up nicely. It is also fairly resistant to bending. It requires a little more heat surfing to get a good pour than some softer ones I've tried.

    MPK Pewter Source

    Here is the link for the MPK. It just came back on today. I think I'll get some more too.
