While on a study abroad program in 2004 with 2 dozen students from the Visual Communications Group at the University of Delaware, Ray visited the Type Museum. The museum had been interested in getting someone in to demonstrate sandcasting large metal type, a process that hadn't been used for 150 years.

Ray said he would pay for it if the group got to watch. We had an early model Nikon camera with digital video capabilities allowing us to shoot in 3 minute segments, after which it would store the video, allowing you to shoot another segment.

Ray finally got around to editing the pieces togethe,r and as it turns out works quite well, documenting the process that probably hasn't been seen since.
