Thanks guys! It's all good

Hi again all, Hobbyist from Sydney Australia. Melting metals in my propane furnace and doing some casting projects. Don't know why my first post disappeared ??

Hi Frosty, Thanks for the advise. I admit we were a bit reckless when we first start this hobby. I think we are way more safe now with steel cap boots, respiratory masks, aprons etc. Before the next project, I will buy a leather pant and full face mask. And I never do anything alone. My dad is near me in every step. Thanks also for tips on casting

Hi everyone, I'm a 13 year old from Sydney Australia. After a long periods of begging I've finally convinced my dad to buy a propane furnace kit for me, on the condition that I would never use it alone So we started experimenting with my dad in the backyard. My first melt was an aluminum folio ball that my friend gave me at school. It was a magical experience to pour the liquid metal and turn it into a solid metal ingot. I loved it! Then I melted more aluminum scrap, then copper and I made aluminum bronze. I invested my pocket money in casting sand and I started casting. My latest project was making an aluminum bronze sword. It turned out pretty awesome! I put my all projects in my youtube channel, if you want to have a look here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/@Kopperssmeltery Any advise and guidance would be greatly appreciated since I am still learning and I want to do more projects. Great to be in here. Have a good one
