No-they do not work well-but enjoy the beer anyway.

thank you for very informative videos, i'm wondering if i can make a mold the same way as you and use it for iron casting?

[mrpete222]

@PAI93 Forget cast iron. It requires different sand. Also, a much higher melting temp. that you can never achieve at home.

@mrpete222 Can I ask why you cannot melt cast iron in the backyard? If you can melt aluminium and brass in a homemade furnace cast iron should be just as easy!

[mrpete222]

@luckygen1001 Requires more heat thah you can ever imagine. You need a cupulo furnace and lots of guts.

@mrpete222 Have a look at my video melting cast iron in my backyard, no problems getting enough heat! It is on youtube "Waste oil furnace melting cast iron"

[mrpete222]

@luckygen1001 I enjoyed your video. You are doing amazing things. I did not think you could melt iron with such a set up.

@mrpete222 I work in a foundry in Wisconsin, there they produce ductile and gray iron castings. I'm not sure what other types of iron there are but for the 2 types mentioned above, the molten iron is heated up to about 2,800 degrees F. and cooled to about 2,500 or so degrees. I think what can be done in your backyard is quite limitless but I imagine it would be pretty difficult to do this in your backyard. We use a lot of safety equipment and other tools to ensure our safety.

Could the pattern for the cover plates be cut out of sheet stock and then rolled to make the same part?

@mrpete222 Thankyou for looking, if you have time have a look at my induction furnace and cupola videos

Amazing videos. I learned a great deal from you. I appresate your time and effort making them for us to learn and enjoy. I do plan on putting this new found knowledge to use. Thank you very much. Please keep making more.
