Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mike. I’m 46 and from Long Island NY. I am a cabinet maker going on 25 years. I also do welding and machinist work. Building a backyard foundry had been a plan of mine for probably 10 years. What I have done so fare is. I’ve built a waste oil burner and acquired the materials to build the furnace.
Welcome Mike. Think I recognize your handle from YouTube. Experience in soft materials will serve you well for pattern making and metal fab will be very helpful for your foundry equipment. That should make a much shorter path for you into your foundry work. Best, Kelly
