This entire video was complete eye candy. Your tools, your foundry, your fuel system, and the way you flipped over the ingots and they just stacked all nice and neat.

I really like how you’ve set up your system for mass production and safety. It’s brilliant!

Love that flip over gravity auto stacker. Genius!

I love that you use waste motor oil as fuel for your furnace. I also like the pouring and ingot mold setup as well. Impressive!

Not only is this a cool professionally done recycling setup, it is a very professionally done video. The editing and lettering telling what is going on is very well done. Thanks.

The aluminum smelting and printing process ... is very inspiring

now I like that not some youtubers they barely make half of your ingot,just one yea, and thats it. You sir did a hell of a job!

Now you're set up for the most bad-ass game of Jenga in history...

It was the ingot casting, flip over, drop out when cool, onto a storage rack which got me. Diabolically simple.

This is the best looking foundry I've seen yet. Would you be willing to walk us through the design and construction if it and the oil burner? Like materials used etc?

Love that ignot casting stand. Efficient how it flips over and drops them out!

This is rather impressive. It's definitely a step up from the little furnace that I have. It's almost like a real foundry going down.

I think we all would be very interested to see a video about how you get the fire started in your setup, maybe show what you are using for the blower and maybe draw up a sketch of what's going on where the oil/air mixes. Last time I melted aluminum I just dug a hole in the ground, and a tunnel to blow air in, started a wood fire and forced air with a leafblower. I just bought a 55 gallon steel barrel to use in a waste oil burner project for melting and casting things for fun, and am looking at different designs and yours seems like a good one.

What a simple but very effective was to melt down aluminium, well done and using the waste oil would make it so cost effective as well. Brilliant stuff.

I don't know...but watching you making those ingots feels so nice. Making new stuff out of old stuff due recycling is the best! If I had the knowledge I'd do it as well.

this is sick. i wanna do this myself.

Does this work with torso oil instead of waist oil? But in all seriousness, that's a serious lot of aluminium to melt down

some of the nicest looking ingots I've seen.

This is so cool!! I never knew that molten metals could look shiny like that!

great vid an set up ;-) I love ally, one of my fave metals to work with, when they first discovered how to extract an process it ( not easy then ) it was more expensive than PLATINUM :-o look forward to more vids, Subbed !

0:38 "WASTE" oil. You have a nice set-up there as well as a safe operation. I like the tools you made to handle the hot aluminum. The large ingot molds are the way to go. Why mess with anything smaller? Great use of waste oil as well.

those bars stacked together, satisfying

1.Yes that was regular concrete, don't use that, it doesn't hold up to the heat. 2.I was planning to make the lining of the furnace thicker, but then it would be immovable. 3.The the angle iron is there because it didn't get enough air and it would not burn properly.

1 Ive used 50/50 concrete sand for 2 years and it retains the hear better but lasts less time 2 My previous foundry weighed over 80kg it was in a 55 gallon oil drum and the cement was 20cm thick it to combat the weight issues i "acquired" an old shopping trolley and used the bottom half to roll the foundry around on 3 perhaps getting a blower with a higher volume but the same velocity would stop that problem Also have you considered using a graphite crucible i used a steel one for a year and if your treat it well and let it cool slowly then it will warp out of shape before it springs a hole. However saying that i just transitioned to an A12 graphite crucible and its great

at high temps the graphite slowly burns into CO2 untill the wall thickness causes structural failure, the only real need for graphite is melting metals above iron, and those are done in argon plasma furnaces. i'd like to build one soon, just allocated 1,200 in funds for my projects.

Cast aluminum is alloyed to meat industrial standards. Usually contains copper and other metals. CNC is any aluminum being machined by a computer controled machine. It is not "compacted!" We use a lot of 6061. I melt both extruded, which is almost pure AL and quite soft, not very strong. And I melt castings like intake maniforlds, heads, pump housings, pistons etc. I keep them separated because they have different properties. I use the castings for things that need more strength and that machine better.
