Iron In The Backyard Foundry?

As my first attempt to cast iron I thought a big ingot mold would be really useful. I was pretty sure my Vevor furnace was capable of melting iron, it has no trouble at all melting bronze or copper. I bought a brand new crucible for iron and was able to melt and cast gray cast iron into a new custom designed ingot mold.using a newly built flask and some green sand I made myself from beach sand and bentonite clay I made in this video https://youtu.be/ULSrIiJsAns As an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases, links below help support the channel at no extra cost to you!
