Wut?  :banghead:
eramsabe:
Press the shape, it doesn't look like that complicated of a piece. You don't need the original to get the shape of it, I work in a body shop and we have to do that all the time for little parts even if we don't have the original if the piece is small and easily duplicated you can take a popsicle stick and form out the mold.
eramsabe:
Or, you can make it out of clay, bake it, and then press that into clay for a mold...whichever is easier :)

Not saying that we shouldn't use lead, but TBH, it wouldn't be my first choice of material for an arcade cabinet.

Of course, American money has all sorts of traces of weird stuff or whatever. So a few lead tainted coins isn't going to add much to the mix.

Personally though? Wouldn't it be easier to do something like carved foam or wax with plaster of paris mold then burn off the wax/plastic during the smelting process? I say this because clay well.... looks like clay and I think cut metal looks a bit better than well... Mr. Bill. :dunno
