Not directly related to bullet making, but an interesting way to make a 'foundery' and melt metals.

Uh Oh... the gears in my head are turning. Wonder what kind of reloading gear I can make with that?

One more thing to add to my do list. Looks like a lot of fun. Well done video, he makes it look so easy and simple.

I should give that a try. I've used my forge for melting brass, so shouldn't have any problems with aluminium. I also have an office chair base that I cut up that is some sort of cast alloy that might be worth trying.

I definitely would NOT recommend using kitchen tongs for lifting out a container of melted metal!!

Do a google for "Dave Gingery". His books may be available on Amazon.

Dave's books are revelatory on home foundry work and the building of one's own machine tools.
