Awesome episode brother loving the way the wax reforms when cooled. The bars seem to be a lot more shiny looking forward to seeing the copper.

I will get to the copper I have the geometry things to melt next week then it will be a copper melt
Bear in mind extrusion grade aluminium will be a lot less suitable for casting with, you may find any casting you make with this is weaker than expected

Thank you I’ll bear that in mind I’m not an expert at this I’m still learning and I’m still trying to find the best stuff to cast with. I know zinc is good but it’s finding it as I like to do everything white found, recovered and recycled material. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍
Since you cannot close the lid you should invest in a few iron slats to cover what you can so to minimize the heat loss.

Is it just me, or is that crucible way bigger than a normal one?

Well noticed it’s a size 10 I usually use a size 8. Good eyes on you 👍
do you stamp them?

No I don’t I really need to sort out a jig so it easier to stamp them because at the moment I can’t do them neatly
All nice, but you forgot to mention how much you spent in energy ...
