I've heard "cast piece" and "cast into place" but not "cast into piece" (until just now, that is).

But, then again, I'm just a darn Yankee (like Twain sort of was). :lol:

Hi all,

And thanks for your contributions. I think that I have been confusing the expression 'cast into piece' with 'cast in one piece'.

Best wishes.
