backyard foundry

Post a Comment

We recently moved out of our very first home together and relocated ourselves to the country. I wanted to take a little piece of the home with me and found the perfect keepsake in the way of some brass door handles. I decided to melt the brass down and cast them into mini axe handles and make a couple small key chain type things.

To be clear, I used Grant Thompson’s how-to videos as a basic guide for making the foundry and the propane torch. I modified a couple of things here and there and just wanted to share my thoughts and experience with you guys in case you are interested in recreating this project.

Using plaster of paris is the quickest way to get going. The material is readily available at most hardware stores and it is very inexpensive. However, it is not very durable and will break down quickly. This route will certainly get hot enough to melt brass which exactly what I needed it to do. Since I decided to make multiple axes, I moved forward with getting some refractory cement which is a more robust option for extreme temperatures.
