# LincolnFord > I am LincolnFord, a metal casting artist creating hand-poured .999 fine silver and copper art. I turn original ideas, 3D-printed forms, and hand-drawn details into distinctive pieces and collectible coins. My work is for anyone who values tactile craftsmanship, custom design, and the character of metal shaped through sand casting. Every piece reflects my curiosity, creative process, and love of bringing new designs to life. - Email: Lincolnford37@gmail.com - **What does a metal casting artist do?** A metal casting artist transforms molten metal into decorative, artistic, or functional forms using specialized casting methods. The process combines careful preparation, design, and finishing to create a distinctive handmade piece. - **What is sand casting?** Sand casting uses a shaped mold made from casting sand to form the outline of a piece. It is a versatile method that can capture creative designs while preserving the character of a handcrafted process. - **Can I request a custom metal artwork or coin?** Custom metal artwork can be developed around an idea, image, symbol, or design concept. A professional can help translate that vision into a form suitable for casting and discuss the artistic details needed to create a cohesive result. - **What metals can be used in casting artwork?** Metal casting artists may work with materials such as silver and copper, depending on the design and the intended character of the piece.
