A friend of me has built himself a small foundry at home.
He made his oven out of a big steel-tube aproxx 15 inch wide and 35 inches high,cemented some bricks from our little local steel-works (Sandvik Corp)inside and made a lid of concrete
He gets the heat to it from and old oilburner that he took from his house-heating pan and runs it on diesel,gets hot enough for aluminium to melt.
He uses old alternators ,carbs and other junk-stuff and some much needed chemicals,poors the metal into sand-molds and out comes a finned ignition-coil cover and some other things like foot-pedals T-Ford window-posts and such,he's self-learned and hes getting better for every time he's at it.
And his nabour is a model-carpenter so he makes all the molds for him in wood,took them sometime to figure out angles and such before they got it to work as it should.
