You can even cast brass at home if you are sufficiently adventurous, I

Brass is a pig to cast. Bronze is _so_ much easier.

I know bronze is fairly easy to work with, what are the pitfalls with
brass? I've been told it was fairly straightforward.

Apart from lost wax, the "lost frog" process is amusing...

Lost frog? OK, I'll go Google.
