Fun hobby. It would be an interest project to see how efficient you can make the process. Some ideas: ☆An aluminum pre-shredder. ☆A waste heat pre-heater. ☆ a continuous slab caster. ☆ a gravity material feed hopper. Disregard the haters. If youre having fun, you're doing it right!
Great hobby you have there. I watch I think he is called Big Stacker or something like that. New Zealand guy. Keep saving your ingots, soon you could cash in and buy silver bars. Looks like 55-60 lbs of aluminum will get you a 1oz silver bar.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 NO scrapyard with half a brain cell will give you one red cent for a block of aluminum. They have no way to verify it doesn't have a lead fishing sinker in there. Making silicon bronze for the art world is the way to make a buck here in the states. Again, I won't even make my own! I buy CMX bronze, it comes with the most important thing.. A RECEIPT!
Not that I know of, but I'll remelt it and get more aluminum out of it. That why I have been keeping it for now. And I guess you can scrap it as regular junk metal.
It's a hobby not a money-making thing for me. And a propane taken is less them $30 to refill. It's fun to do and I make alittle money off the videos from UA-cam and Amazon affiliate sells so it all evens out. In the future I plan on using the Ingots for doing more sand casting of things I 3d print.
Cans suck ballz! Not worth the effort. Smash up an old transmission if you want decent quality metal. Remember, cast to cast. Never extruded to cast. They are not the same materials. I won't even melt down copper pipe anymore! That stuff goes straight to the scrap man for cash.
It's all for fun. We all have hobbies. I use the aluminum for sand casting thing I print with my 3d printer. As of right now I got more cans laying around then old transmissions lol. I been Practicing with the aluminum making cast coins and want to start making copper coins. ua-cam.com/video/oL9T9laZLiw/v-deo.htmlsi=EHYZIUqa0fbN7BT0

@jagboy69 do you pinch babies and kick dogs for fun?
Is the slag worth anything?

@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 10-4, thanks.
With the cost of propane, you are losing money, not to mention time. ???? Kind of cool to see though
