"Why this?"
We have a few of these at the house and its one of few traditional crafts linked to my Papuan background which I feel I could actually use.

"Why this?"
My father got this tool a while ago and put it in the garage. I have not used it yet, but one of my goals is to work more with metal so here is a chance to do that and figure out the capabilities of this tool.

"Why this?"
When I was little I did a few tin soldier castings with my grandfather which I recently found again. Back then I received a box with more intricate moulds, for which I was maybe too young to use. Until now.
