    Just a tip from an old mechanic. You can use a deep well socket or pipe section and a hammer to whack the top of those valve springs and the spring keepers will pop out and the valves will slide right out. This will be an easy way to speed up heating and make cleanup easier afterwards.

    I've melted Aluminum with oil. Gravity feed into a forced air stream(small centrifugal fan). Fan takes a lot less HP than an air compressor.
    On aluminum if you get it hot it gets "short" and a blow from a hammer can make it shatter like tempered glass. It's effective for getting the iron out of castings.

      I would make sure to keep a good distance between the water and the aluminum "spout". If there isn't enough time for the dripping aluminum to form an oxide layer before hitting water it will create hydrogen gas, and an explosion that will send your bucket of water and molten aluminum flying everywhere.

      Not saying it's a bad idea, in fact I plan on doing this exact thing myself. I just wanted to point out that a bucket of water would need to be much further from the furnace than his current muffin tin.

    The waste oil burner is brilliant!!! Two things. 1) I'd be very curious to see you sift the ash at the bottom of the forge. I'd imagine there's about half a mason jar worth of tid bit treasure down there. 2) I wonder if it's possible to hook the air compressor up to some solar panels really cutting the costs down? Waste Oil and Solar seems like a winning combo.

    • @Okiescrapper
      @Okiescrapper  6 місяців тому

      lot's of steel in the ash. I toss it into the shred load. you would have to have a good sized solar setup to run the compressor for any length of time. I have 200 amp hours of battery, and it will draw it down fast. so I would say a guy would need about 2000 amp hours to run the compressor for an hour or two. just a wild guess. on my electric after I hit a certain point on kilowatt's I drop down to 0.06 a KW here in Oklahoma

    You might try to come up with a holding pit in the bottom, with a way to keep it warm. Then you control the pour into your billet cans with a channel or drain with a plug of some kind so you don't need to be there for every billet as it gets melted.... keeping it hot and keeping your drain system working are probably the most troublesome parts.

  • @forest_dweller_2
    @forest_dweller_2 3 роки тому +1

I am also glad you mentioned the other video with the siphon nozzle because I wanted some more specific details. Great work scrapper!

      yeah I am tossing around a few ideas on how I want to modify the melting pot, I am thinking of a hole under the other hole and take an axel that I have cut it down to just above the wheel weld a plate on it for the bucket to sit on and as the aluminum drip's into the bucket I can turn it with my foot, so the aluminum will hit in different places,

      @@Okiescrapper with the drops dripping into the water bucket you wouldn't have to tend it at all. the pellets would naturally stack up and you don't have to turn anything or replace any muffin pans. Just pour out the water when finished and then when you remelt you can easily add pellets to your crucible.
      Of course the muffins may be more space efficient to add to your crucible.

    Great video! My favorite vids are by people who can take things that others have thrown away and use them to make D.I.Y. items that could cost thousands to buy. I sold my shop about 15 years ago (I built and designed custom machinery) and retired--for about 2 months. I closed in an old tractor shed behind my house and bought some old machines. I brought in 2 South Bend lathes, a 14 1/2 inch swing with a 6' bed, and a 9 inch with a 3' bed. A9" Clausing lathe, an Enco milling machine, a drill press, and a welding area with gas, stick, MIG, tig, and plasma cutting. I started getting interested in foundry work by watching it on UA-cam. I started out small and before I knew it I was building bigger flasks than I could lift, filled with sand. At that point, I knew I had to make some changes. The first thing was to be able to lift these flasks, so I built a crane from pressure-treated 2x12 laminated together to make a pedestal crane that could swing a 12' rad. The next step was a ramming-up table. It had to be very strong and very flat. I built the table frame from P.T.4x4 and to get the flattest top possible I poured a reinforced concrete slab with the top1" self-leveling cement. Now to test the crane. It wasn't possible to pour the top in place so I used my new crane to set it. With all the material used that top had to be just shy of 1000 pounds, far more than any mold I would make. It made some scary noises but did the job. The new foundry can do 17 pounds of aluminum in 17 min. Something I don't see anyone else doing is using 10 and 12-pound dry chemical fire extinguisher tanks that can no longer pass the certification test. I cut the tops off and use them as crucibles. They last for years, in fact, I still use the first one I ever made. My new burner is a four-channel setup. The middle handles waste oil, the second propane, the third, compressed air, and the space between the inner and outer tubes is for high volume air. For my larger flasks, I use a concrete mixer to tune the moisture in the sand. When the sand is ready, it is dumped into a box hooked to the crane. The mixer is next to the crane, so it is easier to get the box in position to open the side and start filling the cope. When the cope is rammed up, the box is set down and a 3/16 steel plate is screwed to the bottom to hold the sand in place while it is being moved. A special flask lifter hooks onto the cope and the crane lifts and turns it over. The other halves of the patterns are installed then the drag is bolted in place. The tubes for pouring and venting are placed and the drag is rammed up. When the ramming up is done. the tubes are removed and the drag gets a steel plate too. Now the bolts are removed from the flask and the flask lifter lifts the drag and turns it over. The patterns are stripped, gates and sprues are cut, and repairs are done. The crane lifts and flips the drag and places it back on the cope and the bolts go back in. The crane and lifter now hook onto the lugs on the cope and bring the flask to the pouring station. The steel plate is removed from the drag and the riser is placed and we are ready to pour.

    • @bendean6287
      @bendean6287 3 роки тому +2

      in stead of cutting a hole you could just place a piece of angle iron under there and the aluminum would flow down the angle iron into a bucket of water or whatever. I totally get why you would want it to go straight into a muffin pan. those hockey pucks are just the right size. but you could just ship the pellets. I wonder if you could weld a heavy duty brass valve in the hole and open it with a long piece of metal welded onto the handle when you are ready. also a grate at the bottom might help keep it from clogging. love the design everyone else I have seen uses a crucible and tongs to awkwardly pour, I never thought of just letting it pour right out of the foundry.

      Thank you for replying.
      I've been having a think and hope this might be of help.
      I'll give general idea...
      An upgrade on your melting furnace...
      Do you still have that big U shaped wood? burning stove?
      Is it at least 8 inches larger than an oil drum?
      If so...
      Cut off end pieces.. so they are about a foot taller than an oil drum..
      I would get both ends and make 2 of these..
      Put a few bricks in wood burner bit to hold oil drum up..
      Remove oil drum...
      Add " Air Creet " to just cover bricks... see below...
      Put oil drum back in .. fill gap all around with air creet... Might do in stages?
      Will need to put a load of iron in oil drum or it will float...
      I'm not sure if to cut holes before or after air creet .. annoying as it might be .. probably after... Air Creet will leak out..... It's easy to drill....
      Hole for outlet 6 inches square with a gate from top.. at side of bottom of internal oil drum..
      Flame inlet at angle pointing down a bit so it swirls... It might take a bit longer but you could load it up and keep lid on.. with little gap... With most exhaust coming out of liquid metal outlet...
      Air Creet.. have you heard of it?
      Cheap and easy...
      It's cement filled with bubbles...
      Brilliant insulation...
      Stiff foam is made with cordless drill with fan blade .. in bucket of soapy water then add cement etc ...
      Ratio is 70% or 90% bubbles and mix in powder and pour quick...
      You can make wall panels with it...
      One channel I found over a year ago... he doesn't say in some of the episodes .. then .. they are filming in his workshop and he has been doing proper tests... His job is working with cement!
      He is making fire bricks... He also paints them with water glass... Which you can make yourself..
      They last quite a while... We just cast a load and when they crack swap for another they are really cheap..
      Look up..
      Air Creet...
      The UA-cam channel is Honey Dew Carpenter... I don't know how it got that name...
      Also .. have you watched "Oil Burner" channel? He seems crazy but underneath he is very safety aware... Also uses vegetable oil ... He also uses some burners which get even hotter .. one type uses your burner and it goes into a swirl pot and more fuel is added ... really hot...
      When it gets warmer I will be casting aluminium name plates for my boat... and some other bits..
      I intend to film it and put on You Tube.
      Hope this all makes sense and helps.
      Mark.

    today I just got around to cutting up an old propane cylinder while it was filled with water,, ir has a perfect set up for your smelter, a tapered neck with a valve and it is thick walled about 3/16"... i may use the top half of this tank and make a burner like you did just have to line it with fire bricks or thermal material... very interesting how you made your nozzle, would a drip feed fuel delivery as used in old diesel stoves work to regulate the nozzle flow?

      I am sure it would work well a drip feed and a blower, I may need to build one myself someday, check out the guy called Oil Burner He has a bunch of good videos on drip feed oil burners and he is back from a 4 year vacation

    Your channel just popped up into my q and I was impressed with your setup for melting metals , well this video was aluminum and very nice and a good way to dispose of waste oil . So now I am a new subscriber to this channel and looking forward to seeing your next one .

      Thanks for the sub! and welcome aboard, I do a lot of teardown videos. and I got into melting as the aluminum breakage price is like 10 cents a lb. and I see aluminum ingots going on eBay for $2.00 a lb. and up to about $4.00 a lb. and a guy at work gave me a lot of waste oil about a year ago, for this. so this melting pot has been in the making for a while. Thanks for watching

      I think youtube are doing a good job on this lately, I've had so many good recommendations recently! 👍
