Make A Trash Can Metal Foundry | How To Make A Metal Foundry For Melting Brass And Other Metals

For this project we're using kaowool to make a new lightweight backyard foundry, for melting copper. The steps Grant Thompson covers for creating a mini metal foundry for mixing metals and melting glass aren’t completely easy, but he’ll help you avoid the mistakes, so you end up with an awesome backyard foundry.
This metal foundry project is also great for those wanting to know how to make other cool things: forging aluminum, melting aluminum, melting brass, glass melting, molten metal, homemade foundry experiment, charcoal foundry, DIY smelting furnace, metal furnace, homemade foundry, cool science projects and more! Let us know what cool foundry experiments you create!
If you’re looking to try something new or for an activity such as: DIY metal project, foundry projects, cool science experiments, fun weekend project, or just a fun project with the family, watch the video to learn more.

    @Christopher Elliot, It is toxic because it releases fumes when cut, not when it is just there. He was probably wearing a mask when he was cutting it, but we can't be sure because we can't see his face when he is cutting. Plus, it is just itchy, nothing harmful if it touches your skin, so if you don't want to wear long sleeves, gloves are just fine. He's not setting a bad example, just telling us what to do if we want to try this project ourselves. Also he has to talk clearly and it would be hard to understand if he had a mask on.

    Something to add; we've been using kaowool to build blacksmith's forges for years now, and one super-critical thing to note. It's fine to cut slow when it's cool, but it disintegrates very easily when hot if you poke it. If it does get hit when hot, you also have the added effect of that hot ceramic dust being blown out at you by the gas pressure. It's best to put a fire brick in the bottom of your furnace or forge to put parts or the crucible on, which has the pleasant side benefit of making your lining last a lot longer.

    You should really consider coating the kaowool with ITC-100. The coating helps improve the efficiency of your foundry by up to 30% because it can reflect 98% of the IR radiation back into your crucible. IIt also protects against respirable silica. Refractory materials like Kaowool begin to break down at 1800 degrees releasing a form of respirable silica known as cristobalite. When applied to kaowool and cured, ITC-100 eliminates this problem.

    Great Idea Grant, I would add one more step and that is to line the kaowool with mizzou refractory cement and plistix refractory so that the swirling fire doesn't blow microscopic fibers into the air and then into the lungs. The Kaowool fibers can fly far away. So defintiley and outdoor or garage with door open set up. IF you like I can send you the information. I'm the medical director/consultant for Blacksmithing For Beginners, International Blacksmithing, and Modern Blacksmithing. Thanks Grant for all you do....truly amazing to see you inspire others. Thanks again.....and I'd love to see you try HHO gas as a foundry/ forge fuel. As we talked about before. Docchuck

    I think it would depend on what metal you use. If it's a metal that's magnetic, like iron or steel, then it would interfere with the EM waves in the phone signal. If it's something that isn't magnetic, like aluminum, then I could see it working. Aluminum is rather soft and bendable, if memory serves. That's why it's not usually used as phone case material. Look at the bendable iphones if you need an example.

    Nice work. I made one almost identical about a year ago. After multiple firings the Kaowool will begin to break down. I couldn't have that as I was refining pure silver and it would get into the melt. The solution for me was to coat the Kaowool with refractory cement. it's a pain in the a$$ to get it on without wadding the Kaowool up in a big sticky mess but with patience it will make that furnace last for years and hundreds of firings. Where did you get the burners if I may ask? As always great job!
