thank you for the HD upload

sorry it's spelled ingots, not ignots. probably gonna need a longer spoon for scraping of the dross, so you don't cook those welding gloves. looks like a good furnace.

Thank you sir. I can fix this!

[@markmatt9174]

Been watching melts for a long time. Like the 1st pours for the entertainment 😂😅. It SHOULD get better. Need Hot Work gloves not welding gloves. SS big spoon with an extension welded on to scrape up the dross. Seen a few guys toss on a handful of 20 mule team Borax to clean up the dross or silica sands type materials to keep slag from forming as bad.

Thank You for the Tips!

How's you bees?

[@madmikesgarage4861]

I have one strong colony left. I think the yellow jackets took their toll on them. I had five nests on my 2 acres that I took out. I believe I was a little too late getting the last nest.

@@madmikesgarage4861 ah man sorry to hear that. I don't know any traps for wasp.

8:49 Isn't it easier to take that crusible out when you scoop the slag away? Then you won't be bothered by that heat

[@ramdude12]

You could, but thicker gloves and a longer handled scoop is easier. The less oxygen and cold air you expose the metal to the better. That spoon is fine for aluminum but copper, brass, bronze, ect, a long piece of flat bar steel with a 90* bend in the end works. Or weld a longer handle onto your spoon.
