Greetings! People have been asking me to see the Oliver Upwind propane burner in action, and here it is! I tested it in my old mini metal foundry lined with castable refractory cement and melted extruded aluminum into ingots. The refractory cement i used does not insulate well, so this is a true test of the heat the propane burner can generate.
I also test my new foundry tools that I made in a previous video. The simple crucible tongs (don't know if they count as tongs) worked beautifully, as did the dross scooper, but I did not use the degasser. These are ingots, so i don't care about porosity at this time.
If you want to try melting aluminum into ingots at home, I suggest you think about safety. Don't do metal casting if you do not accept the risks. It's freakin' dangerous. Playing with fire to MELT METAL at home? I can't think of a more ridiculously dangerous thing to do. Maybe engaging in broken glass eating competitions? Don't do that either. If you do, you do it at your own risk.
