Aluminum Ingots From The $30 Backyard Foundry.

After the pour. Aluminum, like any heavy metal will recycle 100% (save the stuff still stuck in the crucible). The ingots are perfectly size for the crucible. Once I get my first foam carving done I can just throw these in and re-melt them.

$30 backyard aluminum foundry – TURBOCHARGED
