Hi everyone.
So this week I decided to step up from Aluminum and attempt to melt copper in the crudely built brick and charcoal furnace using a tin can as a crucible. The weather was subpar and I lost some of the footage due to the cold temperatures but it was a fun video to put together. Each video will slowly get better and I'm also working on a better intro sequence which I feel is lacking. I will continue to develop and expand my equipment as I find things that I feel will work. Came across a cast iron fondue pot that I will be testing out as a crucible in the near future.
Unfortunately I didn't see much success with melting copper but there's a number of issues that could have been the cause of it and I hope that soon I will have some success.
If you have any questions or comments, leave them below or feel free to message me at LMGfortressfilms@gmail.com
Until next week.

I light my furnace with a candle wax soaked paper towel. As soon as the first coals take an ember the hair dryer takes over That and I'm really good with matches. And if like to add, if I may, it looks like your furnace is very wide for your crucible size and it smokes a lot. If you could thin it to be as big around as the crucible and put the bellow pilw in the center, you would use less fuel and likely have less smoke. I know this from the flower pot foundry I built, it doesn't smoke at all

You can do it, but he has too much heat loss open top. copper is very hard to melt at ~1985 F

It definitely did. Haha. Worked well for the first burn doing only aluminum. But essentially disintegrated when trying to get copper to melt.

You need to edit your videos to smaller size. Great job though

Agreed! was just starting out and recorded them in a way that made it very hard to cut together. Have since started doing a better job of it.

I started off with just copper wire but as I started to run down on my charcoal supply I added aluminum to try and lower the melt temperature of the copper. which also failed.

Thanks! With the new Air Blower I'm pretty confident I'll be able to melt Copper for sure now. If I can I have some arrowheads I would like to cast in the near future!
