small amateur aluminum foundry in charlottesville

hi all, built a waste oil foundry here in charlottesville, had a "toy" one for years that'd handle about a liter and ran on propane, the new guy does 6-7 liters pretty well with veggie oil. interested in meeting other geeks in the neighborhood

That sounds pretty cool

You make your own set up?

You found your home foundry geek, lets see some of your castings.

In the gustavus thread i have given quit a write up on patterns, then later on I'm going to do some castings from a scrap aluminum intake manifold from a Case diesel engine just to show the value of scrap when it has been made into something useful.
