    First time with my homemade foundry

    I was pretty happy with how my coal fired foundry came out. I was able to pour about 15 aluminum mini muffin ingots. I just got about 10 boxes of kinetic sand and look forward to casting something. I plan on trying to melt copper this weekend. Any tips I should know about pouring copper?
