Very interesting thread, very informative post, in this thread whole details of "how do I start casting metal" for beginners and its reference and its safety tips.

Very nice and informative Post Dan.

It's so useful, I've been doing casting from 10+ years.

I have also done investment casting, Steel & Stainless steel casting, pumps casting and valve casting as it is much simpler. the materials are reusable, too.

i just joined this forum and got some quality information on steel & metal casting , and i am eager to teach another steel casting work skill.

-“The Artful Bodger’s Iron Casting Waste Oil Furnace” by Colin Peck
...available from the author at http://www.artfulbod...alcasting.com/. This manual is what I used to build my furnace described above. I don't think I would ever build a crucible furnace that was not based on this design. Terribly written, never even proofread, but invaluable nonetheless.
 

Do you know if this style of furnace works with waste fryer oil or kitchen grease?
