What do you use to solder the pieces together?

@garouHH I saw another guy use talc as a release agent- seems to work just fine. I'm researching the same thing for the same reason, lol.

Impressive work. The overhead is a liiiittle bit over my head though; I'm at the moment researching into how to do homebrew pewter casting for SCA / LARP / renaissance fair "silver" coins and other small objects with minimal resources, so bronze molds are out of the question.

Anyways, do you happen to know of some material that can keep the pewter from sticking to casts (made from soapstone or (the gipsum-like) putty) and that's a household item?

Lovely Tudor work, some of the best I have seen. In my many, many years within the Pewter industry AE Williams stands for quality, craftsmanship, and service, and will always do so.
