The burner is finished, I got the plans from http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/index.html
It's a pretty simple propane burner, built from steel pipe for gas lines....cost a few bucks to make (the regulator with gauge cost about $40) I hope to be melting some aluminum and brass sometime this week....not as loud as I thougt it would be, but it does make some noise <!-- emo&:D -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)<!-- endemo --> So far my "donor" aluminum scrap will come from some old used 2.0 pistons, a 914 steering rack, possibly an old 15x7 Phonedial that had a run in with a curb...of course I still don't know what the heck I am going to attept to make... The neighbors are nervous (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1129160231.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1142869932.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1142869944.jpg) |

Speaking of green sand... I need to find a source of green (olivine) sand in 80, 100 and 120 mesh.. But only in 100 lb quanitites (it's for glass casting at my place of employment). I've looked all over and I can only find places selling it by the ton. I don't care where it's from, we'll pay for shipping. I just need to find a place that sells it in small quantities by mail order. Anyone know of a source? |
