Propane Tank Foundry

Home-built gas-fired foundry to melt aluminum and brass for investment casting
media:
​​propane tank, refractory, ceramic blanket, angle brackets, black iron and brass piping
Disclaimer: This project involves considerably hazardous steps and should not be attempted without experience. The propane tank that was used in this project was a Bernzomatic 20lb vacuum-purged propane tank that was sold empty straight from the manufacturer, which means no propane gas should have ever been introduced into the tank. Regardless, careful steps to first remove the brass valve were taken, and water was purged in the tank to ensure that no flammable gases were present when cut with an angle grinder. If you are to replicate this project, please do so with utmost caution and common sense.
