From NZ, into casting, I need metal and lots of it

Hello all. Great to be part of this community.
I've fallen into casting big time as a hobby and as my future income, so it feels only right to join up here and learn the ropes. Im and ex builder and production engineer with good skills with fabrication, and due to injuries I have had to stop building and look for new things to do, and casting came up. Im passionate about making a living from my small (but growing) foundry, and an affordable supply of metal has become one of the factors that I can see having importance for it to be reliable as an income.

As soon as I found this site, it struck me as a good idea to focus on metal supply as I want to be making bronzes of different types. I already have a few bins of reclaimed metals and need to be filling them up for the future. Im turning all non-ferous into pure ingots and then mixing later for my blends.

Im new to the whole foundry world but I have been around metal most of my life.

Thanks for a great resource

Regards
Keith
