[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3421984, member: 745"] Get him or help him make a little smelter. I made one several years ago according to[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHD10DjxM1] the King of Random's instructions[/url] and had good success with it melting down aluminum cans. A couple years ago I made a smelter out of a used propane tank - like the ones you can buy/exchange at most hardware/pharmacies/grocery stores i and some ceramic batting. Making a propane burner for it out of pipe and pipe fittings is easy as well (Youtube is replete with them). Then all you need is a regulator such as those Youtube videos show, a couple crucibles, tongs, and something to cast the aluminum into. Again, Youtube is your friend. I enjoy smelting and have used the aluminum I cast into useful shapes for my combination lathe/milling machine. Woody [/QUOTE]
