Just figured Id post a ptoject Im working on. Got me some soft firebricks some angle iron, and some electrical doodads. Gonna make me a burnout kiln for some lost wax casting. 
Got me some refractory cement to make a little foundry and a crucible to do some melting.
Anyone else into casting stuff?? Ive wanted to forever and am just starting up...need to build a vacuum casting setup too. sorry for the shitty picture. any advice or comments are appreciated.

What metal are you using? Aluminium?
