RE: Melting Aluminum In A Homemade DIY Furnace Foundry - AGAIN
I've been wanting to do some aluminum casting for quite a few years now, but I've never gotten around to building the charcoal furnace that I have the plans for. I even have two 5 gallon buckets of green sand from an aluminum foundry that used to be in business in the local area.
How cool! What type of things do you hope to make?
The original plan was to make parts for a large scale railroad car, there's lots of other interesting ideas, like miniature engine blocks and things like that. I don't have any of the machining tools necessary to finish something like a miniature engine block, but it's fun to think about.
