Jewellery casting methods for Vikings

This is a very interesting article written by someone who has not only researched the possible different methods used by the Vikings to cast their jewellery, but has also had an attempt at it, which is always a good way to fid out whether your assumptions are correct and/or easy.

I recommend having it open in two tabs, as the page displays the figures down the side, rather than in line with text, which means that you have to scroll back up and down trying to find where you left off from to look at the referred image. Having it on two tabs allows you to much easily flick back and forth to the image and text spot you were up to.
