Hi, new subscriber here, you do some great stuff. Where did you get the furnace from? It looks great! I've been trying with a KoR style bucket and weedburner but it doesn't seem to get hot enough, even tho my crucible starts to glow where the flame hits it, the cans don't melt :(

Hi James - thanks for the support! The aluminium casting set up was actually something we were using from my old work. Unfortunately we don’t have access to this any longer since I moved jobs. There are definitely ways you can do this at home - check out some diy casting set ups on KZread. Good luck!

Nice one! They look great and a cool idea with the numbering too, I didn't get chance to make up any coins but I'd love to sticker swap with you!👍😁

You should make yourselves some aluminium molds for injection casting HDPE as well as just melting HDPE into and pressing with the bottlejack

@@BrothersMake I don't currently have the materials to go about sand casting but I've considered carving aluminium blank sheets/blocks to press and melt HDPE in to make forms and maybe even just textures. It's likely going to be a combination of using my jewellery gravers and my flexshaft dremel. I may also experiment with cutting out forms in the sheet with my jewelers hand saw and try to solder another sheet as a backplate to it so it's like a regular mold. Although I have no experience soldering aluminium... only: Brass, bronze, copper, silver and gold.

Soldering aluminium can be tricky. TIG welding is your best bet if your going for strength. But TIG is a little harder to achieve on a DIY setup

I would like to do this with my laser engraver but don't know where to start.

Those failed have more character.
