Hey everyone! Welcome back again! I decided to put out a video based on a lot of comments I have gotten in the past so that’s what I did. I hope this helps some of you and if you like me to go more in detail on a certain subject, leave me a comment and let me know. Stay safe and I’ll see you all in the next one! 👍🏻

A respirator is only really needed for certain alloys. This video was only about the basic setup. For a small amount of aluminum melting outside a respirator is not necessary

I've always wondered how much it would cost to start doing this stuff. Thank you so much for making this breakdown. It's honestly much cheaper than I was expecting. I work in the theatre / production field and we often build, buy, or get donated all sorts of items that we only use for a month or so before it's on to the next production so I'm always looking for ways to recycle used lumber, metal, etc. So knowing the entry cost is affordable is really encouraging! Love all of your videos. Keep up the good work.

@@tyttuut If it's pure copper you should be fine, but if its scrap copper there will often be a bit of plastic and other things in there for example if it's stripped wire there may be little pieces of plastic that got missed or pipe may contain something inside of it, also some copper alloys contain lead or zinc which will release fumes etc. Your probably better off wearing protection and not needing it than not wearing it and finding out your copper was contaminated.

Great video Adam! Thanks for breaking this down for us. Do you notice a difference in outcome when using green sand vs. petrobond sand for your castings? I would love for you to do a video breaking down your vinyl printing and etching. I want to cast some brass and etch it like I have seen you do with acid but don’t know how you do the vinyl.
@MicroOutdoors
3 жыл бұрын
Great video! My suggestion, could you start adding about how many lbs of petrobond you use for your casting videos? Like the flask you showed in this one, how much petro will it hold? When you poured the tongs, how much was used. --- also on petro, nobody is showing how they separate the used sand and how the clean up of used/unused petro is done. I know it's not cheep so every grain counts! Thanks again for the information!

The gloves I got because I'm a volunteer fireman and I got good gloves and think that is the best. They are layered inside and still get really hot. Ouch from experience.

Thanks for this video! It was great getting that break down. I will be getting into this for scrap recycling, but its good to have the list. Could you do or quickly let me know, 1) where do you run your furnace? I see some home people run it from the garage, does the heat cause damage to garage doors etc, 2) what about toxic fumes and a respirator? does it create excessive smell or smoke? Thanks!!!
@ArtByAdrock
3 жыл бұрын
I run mine either in the backyard or the garage. It won’t damage the garage door but I wouldn’t recommend it in the garage if melting brass. The zinc fumes will create a lot of smoke and then yes you will need a respirator. For just aluminum though you’ll be just fine. Your garage will get awfully hot though so I’d at least open the door. Don’t leave it closed
