Aluminum Designs

This page will be a forum to discuss the methods and techniques I used to build my back yard foundry for recycling aluminum cans. This foundry is used to cast molten Aluminum in homemade sand molds or purchased cast iron molds. Photos will be provided as time and space allow, please be patient. The information on these pages will be continually updated. Please check back! There are several areas which need to be discussed, including EQUIPMENT, SAND MOLDS, OTHER MOLDS, THE CASTING PROCESS, and CHASING.
