First ingots from my casting furnace! I

  1. First ingots from my casting furnace! I have successes in converting purchased candy corn-shaped aluminum ingots into triangle-shaped aluminum ingots. The next step is to make some greensand and casting flasks to make some real parts. It has been a 3 year on and off an adventure to get to this point.

  2. Congratulations, it's a never ending journey: you'll be trying for bronze and brass next and then cast iron after that, all along the way never having enough flasks or green sand (said by someone on lunch break from welding up some more flasks). Already you have equaled or exceeded most youtube "experts" without ever having poured anything molten down an anthill:D.
