Finally, a use for fire ants

I was thinking a cutting torch. I know nos by itself isn't flammable, but does it leave any residue like propane ? I don't think it does

I don't think so just open the valve and wave the torch in front of it. If it doesn't go boom youll be OK

The things I learn on Cattle today..... such a plethora of information here!

It's an aluminum bottle. Probably 1/4" wall thickness. It'll work for lead but not aluminum

Dig a hole in the ground, take a piece of metal (for a lid to the hole) and cut a hole in center to put your weed torch in. put charcoal in bottom of hole and then set your pot on top of that. light it up and it should get to about 1500 deg pretty quick .

Tht won't work. Not enough oxygen

 

[M5farm]

as long as only the tip of the torch is inserted into the hole you can slide the lid over or prop one corner so it can draw.

same principle as my forge. all I have on top is and old burner with the burner part cut off.

I'll get the crucible figured out tomorrow morn and should be good from there. I just need to keep the aluminum liquid.

Make sure you make a video and monetize it. You'll be rolling in the dough.

I'd add some twerking but my back wouldn't be the same after that

 

[tater74]

You must not be built for it.

My search for a suitable crucible failed this morning. I'll have to make one out of an old top hat brake drum

I am not sure, but would a clay pot work?

 

[Hook]

A traditional clay pot won't. Too many air spaces. It would crack long before getting to the 1200f mark
