I enjoyed this a lot. I worked in an aluminum foundry for 9 years before my current job. We did permanent mold, but its amazing what you can use in a pinch. If we needed to make something ourselves we would make a mold out of wood, take a die grinder to some tool steel, or anything. It doesn't take long for solicitation so you can get away with a lot. Its especially handy to get a basic shape that you can finish out the detail with a mill or lathe. Keep up the good work.

+Belias Phyre I know.... what to make... what to make.... (I did start savings cans just for this after watching another YT'ers video but still haven't a clue what to make that'd actually be useful) A mallet would probably be the perfect first try. If the handle fails to come out perfect it can be covered in dip-it or a friction tape. Also oversize and use the handle as a spout. Be good to taper the neck wide into the mallet so it wouldn't break easily. I was trying to think of something for a bike but most of it is already made and reasonably available. They even make pedals that make their own power and light LEDs inside them! (great idea because they're basically fairly theftproof) Plus I don't have a lathe to finish the project so it'd have to be something either crude is easily handle finishable. Would it make a decent handle for a camping handaxe? One could impregnate their name or logo/motto on the side. That'd be cool.

BikingMNViking If this is your first time casting, you may want to try something smaller, especially if your using this process. I was thinking some simple jewelry or trinkets just to see what kind of detail and finish I could get. A mallet is a bit ambitious for a piddly little torch like this.

Thanks AvE, this looks like possibly the best solution for doing small casts of anthills ! My Sister, niece, and two nephews are visiting this summer and I thought they'd be blown away by casting some anthills. I live in Minnesota, so our anthills don't run very deep ( I hope ). I wouldn't need much more than maybe double the amount which you melted, But I'm sure a slightly larger crucible is available. Thanks again for the cool vid ( and the witty and entertaining renaming of popular sales outlets ). This is definitely the simplest and easiest method to melt smaller amounts of metal, not to mention portability, which for casting anthills I would imagine would be highly convenient !

So I work at a small engine factory. When you scale the process up to really big parts, it becomes an absolute pain in the ASS. That shrinkage that occurs during the cooling process can cause something called "Shrinkage Porosity". Basically the part rips voids into itself, that resembles cracks or air bubbles. The bad thing is they can go completely unnoticed, unless it's uncovered when machining the part. I have sent a few thousand engine heads back to be melted down again, because of shrinkage porosity that goes unnoticed until the parts reach the production line. I wish i was the guy in charge of QC in the aluminum machining department. Evidently he's paid to do the absolute bare minimum!

This is definitely a good tip if you have aluminum stock to melt. I have large flat pieces like cut up mac keyboards, etc. You'd have to chop them up into nubbins to use this method. I have a charcoal + hair dryer in a coffee can setup and its easier to melt large amounts to make some clean chunks which would then go into this setup really easy. This would be cleaner than the charcoal stuff, for sure.

Seriously there is a side by side video where the guy is out at the mountains & compares focuses between the 7 edge and the iphone 6 -- whether that makes it right for Ave's more macro style of shooting is still in question as I haven't seen that video but this is YT, search around, it's probably here if anywhere since this is the #2 search engine in the world according to Alexa. I just know in one way AVE is a perfectionist, or at least expects good results for good work he does and he always calls it like it is. Why shouldn't he expect the same of his camera? Or maybe he should switch to a pinhole type camera? (IE: Non adjustable F stop, I think the go pro's are like this. I know you can get dedicated cameras for security on amazon for cheap (& small) that should be able to focus that close easily & at least be 720 HD -- I bought several for a security project I am working on. I need to spend time with them and right now I have to eat & leave.)

Also, specialty salts like the delicious Celtic salt have other chemical structures. Also, order some Celtic salt. It will do wonders for your cooking. You can add other stuff to make fun alloys. Zinc, magnesium, and copper are kinda common. They can make it stronger and heat resistant. Adding micro ceramic balls can make it nasty to cut through. Flash freezing or pressure ovens can also make it super strong depending on the method.
