How to make the mini metal foundry

There's pretty much nothing better than melting metal in the backyard (or maybe on the patio, wouldn't want to set the dry grass on fire out there, folks). And aluminum isn't a bad choice since it has a relatively low melting point for a metal.

Plus, lots of us have ready supplies of aluminum just sitting around in the recycling bin (because we wouldn't ever throw an aluminum can away, would we?)

In this trilogy of videos, the King of Random shows us how to make a backyard foundry, melt and purify aluminum, and then cast something via lost foamboard casting.

Looks like a blast.
