Just curious if anyone here does small-scale metal casting—aluminum, brass, etc. Would love to see your setups or hear about your projects!

I’ve dabbled in small-scale aluminum casting using a homemade charcoal furnace. It’s surprisingly doable with basic tools, though safety gear is a must.

Honestly, small-scale metal casting feels way too technical for most folks to pull off.
Aohong —— carbon fiber materials, pultruded FRP profiles, sight glass, sealing gaskets, braided packing, sealing sheets, and other civil-engineering materials.
