- Welcome Back outlaws to part two of two in this episode we temper and cure the crucible and do our first melt. I’m really pleased with the way this little furnace performed. I hope this helps anybody that is researching these furnaces and that the information is useful. This is my first time using this furnace and for me, there is a learning curve in finding out how this furnace operates. I’m happy with the results and hope you find this video entertaining. If you like this video, please consider subscribing to the channel and once again thanks for watching 😎

Thanks for the video. My wife just got me one of these for my birthday. I agree the instructions need to be updated to reflect what is actually in the box. I've got a lot to learn.
Hey Pete! Thanks so much for your comment and taking the time to watch. That’s awesome welcome to the club👍🏻 you’re gonna love this thing it’s a lot of fun and a good hobby. Before you use it for the first time, get yourself a good set of tongs for the crucible. It’s nice that they send you some with the kit but I found them a little hard to use so I ended up getting a set that has tongs for picking up and lifting the crucible out of the furnace and another one that picks it up for pouring. I hope you have as much fun with it as I do and if you think about it after you use it a couple times post back here and let me know how it’s working out for you! 😎
Really cool process and that little furnace works good.I remember we made molds in sand and when halves came apart the object was perfect. We used aluminum in shop class.
The good old days of shop class! Scared of what goes on in schools these days... It's definitely not learning practical life skills and critical thinking. 🙄I want to try sand molds with this in the future. there is no shortage of beer cans for aluminum either 🤣🤣
I don't use the borox I like using calcium carbonate in water soak the crucible but needs to dry completely , great presentation I just did a copper pour yesterday you might like to see
Thanks for sharing! I will definitely check it out🤙🏻🇦🇺
Grate video much appreciated 👌🏽 iv just brought my first forge and I am a melting virgin so trying to get as much info as possible before I start using it. Big love from the uk 🇬🇧
You will get addicted 🤣 I see you are into bees 🐝 me to! Just harvested some desert honey 🍯 and posted a video if you are interested. ☮️🇬🇧🇺🇸
@@ocotillooutlaws4101that’s mental that your into bees aswell… u don’t metal detect aswell do you ?? As that’s another hobby of mine 🤩 how many hives do you have mate. I’ll have a look at your video now. My bees are only starting to venture out now after there winter inside 🤓
@@TheBritishbeeman 🤣🤣 yes I do metal detecting also! Mud larking too and looking for stuff on the beach. We have two hives. Our bees 🐝 became aggressive in one hive working on re queening it now. I have three bee videos #40 #73 & #235 if you’re interested. Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing 🤙🏻
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 😆🤣🤣🤣🤯 fml that is mental mate…. Honestly I think this is nuts 👌🏽🤯✌🏽
Don’t put your fire extinguisher right next to a container of fuel. It should be in the least likely place to catch fire in case you need it. Slow is smooth, smooth is efficient. Efficiency is speed.
Thanks for checking it out! I always have two extinguishers and a hose on the ready. I keep one extinguisher close to the propane cut off so that if there’s an issue with anything while operating the valve it is close by. The other extinguisher is on a concrete patio and the water hose is pressurized and ready for immediate use. It may be overkill but I’d rather be ready for any mishaps. Thanks for sharing! 😎
👍👍👍

Thanks!
Jimmie,
Thanks so much for hitting the super thanks icon! You are the first viewer on the channel to do so😎 what an awesome surprise for us! I hope you found the video useful in some way, or at least entertaining. This little furnace is fun and I haven't broken it yet 🤣
I have actually found a site now and how managed to order 1kg of pure borax which I am made up with just waiting for it to arrive now and I can get cooking 😃 but eBay and Amazon do not sell it to 🇬🇧 and also no supermarkets sell it hear no more fore some reason or another 🙄 soon as it turns up I am going to copy exactly what you have done to my crucible ✌🏽
That’s awesome! Glad you found a source. I’m really curious why they don’t sell Borax in 🇬🇧you are on your way 😎 b- safe and have fun!☮️
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 the government are fairy’s 🧚 over hear mate 🙄
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 all I need now is something to remove the slag 🤔 like a spatula or sank ? Not sure what to use for that yet…
I heard that! We’re stuck in deep doo doo 💩 with the freak show politicians all around the world 🌎 knowledge is power and right now the people need all the power we can get💪🏼
I use a big metal spoon 🥄 to get rid of the slag. Best thing I’ve found so far
Can I use borax substitute?? I can’t get borax in uk
Hey Beeman!
Thanks for the question. You learn something new everyday 😎 I didn’t know that Borax was hard to get in the UK 🇬🇧 bicarbonate of soda has been used as a substitute but for cleaning not sure for smelting. Have you tried the dreaded Amazon? I’m curious now! If you find a good substitute share it here so others can benefit. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍🏻
And I see part of your safety protocol is to wear those canvas and rubber sneakers you got on not a really good movie
WEIGHT IT PLEASE ON CAMERA. THIS YEAR WHOLE DIVISIONS OF TRACK HOMES ARE UNDERWATER, LOTS OF COPPER WILL BE AVAILABLE.
HOW ABOUT USED BRASS AT THE RANGE.
I need to get a scale to weigh the ingots and things that I cast. I am curious to see how much it all weighs also.
@@debbies3763 There is always a lot of brass laying around that careless people leave especially in our wilderness areas and we collect this also along with trash. One man's trash is another man's treasure
FINALLY !!!!
IT'S OK TO USE ALL CAPS WHEN
WHEN REPLYING ON RUclips 🎉😊
