a few years back i added sand and lost wax casting to my 'can do' list, but don't exactly have a smelter handy at home
i recall using a diy setup made from a chopped up old propane tank and refractory materials on one occasion. there are some similar assemblies to be found on these here internets, but i was wondering if anyone has any hands-on experience with a successful setup. i'd mainly be using it for aluminum, but would love to have a go at brass if i can achieve the higher melting point.
