Stuff like that will happen when you are doing this, but ...... where are the thick leather gloves, apron, mask, and steel toe slipons. When your working with a crucible that big and have something go wrong..... You can die from it!!!!!!!

Maybe you should have watched the video before commenting on it. I didn't see or hear anything about anyone actually getting injured. You sound like a moron anyway.

Dude that could have seriously burn somebody!!! Any moisture in the mold could produce a violent reaction specially with copper that melts at a higher temperature than most alloys. I would suggest heating up the mold before pouring! And when pouring, do it really slow so the metal doesn't pop like that!
