Melting is fun

Let’s face it, melting stuff is fun! Melting metal is even more fun than burning plastic (you know when it makes that ZOOP sound as the plastic drops through the air). I have my own small foundry and have used it on many occasions to make small metal parts. I can currently pour about 8 lbs. of aluminum at a time, which is enough for most of my projects. I don’t like using lower grade aluminum, so I use old hard drives to make my billets.
I will post more in the future, and hopefully remember to take more pictures of my melts.
