Starting out trying to learn the casting process strictly from the written word can be done and a useable boolits can be made,but plan on returning the better part of your casting session to the pot.
Pictures are worth 1000 words but it's not like having someone standing with you showing you the pitfalls.

Dipper and bottom pour techniques are quite different.

Don't try starting with 4 or 6 cavity,or 22-25 caliber moulds, they are better left to when you have been at it a while.
