I've seen so many videos on DIY aluminium melting that claim to be cheap and easy, but all of them require something like heavy insulation foam or a gas tank for fuel. This is something I could just go to my local park and do with maybe ten minutes of rummaging in my rubbish bin beforehand. Absolutely brilliant, cheers lad.

The first 30 seconds of this video are more informative than the rest I've seen. thank you.

On the TV show "Friends", Phoebe had a brother. She wanted to get to know him better. She asked him what things he likes. He said, "I like things that melt." Feeling a little uncomfortable, she then asked him what he didn't like. He said, "I don't like things that don't melt."π

as a complete newcomer to this type of thing, im really looking forward to trying out my first, and free furnace π
-
That was very fun and easy to follow, thanks!
-
Thanks for the video because a lot of the others are hard to get products but these are all at home products
-
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you π
-
Yeh Interesting Thanks. Simple Method and relatively easy
-
Pretty interesting, my suggestion would be to fill the can with water and freeze it so that the can does not de-form when drilled.
-
Excellent video! Thanks for Posting!
-
Really, really well done
-
This is fantastic I'm thinking of using cast aluminum as a substitute for unobtainium to replace a couple Miss parts for a current project
-
Informative.. i enjoyed it
-
Great stuff!

Awesome! Thanks! What if you used a ceramic crucible? Could the furnace get hot enough to fire a homemade clay pot? Clay is not hard to make from dirt. I think you need to mix it with some grog or sand to keep it from cracking in the fire. I have never actually fired a homemade pot, but I have researched it.

Never seen it done this way before. Will have to give it a try at some point. I have some cast pieces taking up space.

BRILLIANT

You never said what you used for your casting mold. What is it? I've used my portable fire pit to burn scraps & pieces of disposable wood and spring pruning off of the junipers and othe decorative wood in the yard. Got the fire so hot, i had to stand 20 ft away. Very good alternative. It also works great on windy days, you won't need the blow dryer. Liked the video.

Be VERY careful if you used a galvanised container, burning off the coating produces poisonous fumes that can kill, so burn off the coating in an open well ventilated area.
