  1. as per obtaining equipment, read this: BP0184 Look - See you dont always need the real deals.
  2. sabre, that is why the hilti te-72 was invented. thanks for the comments all
  3. 4 inch square steel tubing welded into a wheel rim. 1/2" rr tie plate welded on top. rebar studs welded on bottom of tubing to add stability. filled with a full 80lb bag of quickrete and some lead and granite pieces for added weight. estimated total weight: 300lbs Now all i need to do is forge a handle for the vise.
  4. Casting ingots easy to make ingot mold is pictured, just a bunch of angle iron welded in a V pattern. when working with molten metal, be sure you have ALL the safety gear you need.
  5. dont know about cupcake trays, but i know one thing... if your ingot mold is a little bit rusty, then your ingots wont stick to the mold as much as a clean surface. cupcake trays sound like a bad idea to me. they are just stamped together and could come apart with rapid heat change, spilling molten metal all over.
  6. contact moya034 on this site, he does aluminum casting. metalliferous does as well.
  7. i dont know squat about knifemaking, so i just hardened and drew temper to light straw at the blade and purple at the spine
