very good. no furnace just bricks. 10 out of 10 :)
-
how are you makes sure the moulds dont explode when you pour into them , i work in a foundry and we spray them with diesel
-
@alexcorn Makes sense. Keeping the mold close to the source will probably help. Perhaps on top of your bricks?
How long did it take for the copper to melt? Does your bars have any pits, or are they pretty solid?
-
Are those just regular bricks?
-
Could someone tell me, where I can buy a ceramic mug (in which the melt copper is), like in the video?
I live in Hungary and I couldnt find something like that.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks for the answers!

What heat source did you use? And why did you cover it in the end? A little explanation would be nice.

@RamsesReturns - We used coal as fuel. My friend covered it at the end because sometimes as it cooled, it made funny shapes. We were hoping to keep that from happening, but the weight didn't work. The trick is to let it cool slower, I think.

can you tell me if a 55 gallon drum is enough to melt brass at 1500 F? or do i need more lining?

@a11b22c33d4 - I would guess not. You need a crucible, which is made out of ceramic or something else with a very very high melting point. Those 55 gallon drums are steel and would not stand up to the heat very well.

you can buy certain types of coal just for like heating your house its not just used industrially but not to many people use it anymore the thing i dont understand is y the hell are they pouring copper?

There were no places in my area selling coal, so I could not buy it. I don't know of *anyone* in Indiana who heats their house with coal - if coal is still used to heat houses, it is very very rare.
As for why we are pouring copper? Because we can.
