  • its a really bad idea to hold a crucible at those temps in one small spot with tongs. The material weakens with high temps and could break. A cheap alternative is to modify fire place log tongs to fit your crucible.

  • Thanks for the tip, comments are always appreciated

  • could you please post another video or slide show showing the ingots to see the color because sometimes when I melt brass the zinc vaporises also what type of casings were they

  • well we took this video a long time ago unfortunately and none of the original material is left. It was brass colored, once it cooled off :-/

    I believe the casings were from a rifle, relatively small caliber, but I am not sure exactly what kind they were

  • is that charcoal or coal fuel.

    and where do you buy the pots that you melt the brass at>.nice video.

  • It is coal, I don't know where we got it that time but we usually get it in large quantities. I do not know where he got the crucible. It is a common ceramic crucible, you should be able to find one online easily.
