Until i decide to invest in good tools i needed a cheap solution.
Diy ceramic crucible.
Steps you must follow to cast a ceramic crucible.
While cutting into them is dangerous i decided to do just that.
I decided to make a cheap diy crucible to last one or two casting sessions.
This is just to see if i like casting metal.
It is also a good way to recycle old materials thus protecting the environment.
Ceramic crucibles are used for science experiments and for melting down materials such as metals.
Diy metal workers like you already know the importance of a sturdy crucible in your workshop.
With a few household tools you can make your own ceramic crucible and begin melting things such as your broken jewelry and other scraps of metals that can be sold.
Silicon carbide clay graphite or diy steel crucibles which type is best.
Crucibles are indispensable tools especially when you love doing projects that need metal mixing and molding.
However when these crucibles are placed into a direct air blast usually a furnace they are prone to oxidation and will eventually fail.
Due to some of my experiments in filling 1lb propane tanks i have some empty tanks.
