>anyone here have a diy smelter in your backyard/hobby shop? I am thinking of doing a DIY smelter,. using custom graphite molds; so I may mint my own personal rounds and bars. I'm doing a tonne of research and believe I found the best way, but looking to see if anyone else here is acticely semtling their own aluminum, silver, gold; copper; etc.

>If you commit to it please post here, fren. I’ve toyed with the idea for about a year now and my theoretical setup is:
>>electric furnace (maybe. The crucibles are much smaller than conventional propane setups and a fucked up poor would have a hard time getting recycled.)
>>3D printer to make molds
>>metal tub and sand to cast
>I like the idea of not worrying about two sided pours. It drastically complicates things versus just having a blank back which could be utilized some how.
Kinda interested in that too. Seems like a neat hobby or even possibly a fun side hustle, but I'm not sure where to even get started.
