Making a homemade metal foundry or forge has never been so easy, in this episode we are going to make a foundry to melt aluminum and make a motorcycle piece.
#TheMetalFoundryProject is inspired by the great work of Grant Thompson - "The King of Random". I'm using his videos to get my children to like experiments so thank you very much Grant on so many levels.
Make sure to visit his channel and the video that started this episode: • How To Make The Mini M...
PART 3 [Metal foundry project p3 - how to forge a motorcycle part at home]
In part 3, the final chapter of #TheMetalFoundryProject, I'll try to make the actual motorcycle part by designing them and using a polystyrene mold for casting.
I'll test one of those hot polystyrene wire cutting devices to design the mold that will be buried under the sand for the melted metal to take the place of.
We'll do a couple of tests and we'll put the ultimate test our homemade mini forge.
I'll finally get some aluminum casting for my motorcycle!
What did we do:
- design the shapes of the parts
- transfer of the design to polystyrene
- testing a hot wire polystyrene cutter
- preparing the pouring channels
- packing of the sand around the polystyrene mold for casting
- pouring of the molten aluminum in the casting mold
- parts clean up and sending
- installation of the casted part onto the motorcycle

During part 1 of this 3 parte episode we'll go through the process of actually creating the foundry furnace out of readily available materials that you can find in a DIY craft store, or at an hardware store or by recycling construction material.
To make the mini forge we'll need some sand, some refractory mortar and some water then a few other tools and parts that you'll find in the video.
The metal foundry project is powered by a propane torch.
By the end of the episode we'll have learned how to make a metal foundry at home.
What did we do:
- Prepare all the necessary ingredients
- mix the sand, the refractory mortar and the water
- pour the mixture in the bucket
- prepare the lead mold
- pour the lead mixture
- let dry
- make a hole for the propane torch
PART 2 [Metal foundry project p2 - how to melt aluminum at home]
• DIY Metal Foundry Proj...
In part 2 of 3 we'll use our metal foundry for casting some aluminum ingots, in our case we'll melt aluminum to make some motorcycle parts, specifically footpegs.
But before we are going to start our freshly homemade melting furnace for the first time and we are going to make some aluminum muffins. We'll also test our diy crucible and see if you can use it for melting metal.
We'll start with some aluminum chips left over from the cnc machine but we'll have quite a surprise... stay tuned.
What did we do:
- Run first aluminum melting test with cnc chips
- Testing operation temperature and furnace heat resistance
- Cutting recycled pieces of aluminum for repurposing
- melting aluminum in backyard foundry
- skimming the impurities
- casting aluminum muffins

    6:12 You don't have to use pilot holes and rethread your wire like you would do with wood. Just cut a slit taking the shortest path from the outside to the inside. No appreciable amount of sand will get in the slit. It will be vaporized anyway. Remember, you're cutting a negative. ;-)
