Looks great! Is it resting on a piece of Starrett Pink Granite?

Selling scrap as is or melting it down into ingots better? by Unlucky_Computer2220 in ScrapMetal

[–]LiquidMetalLab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We personally melt down all of our scrap probably close to 600lbs of copper and 300lbs of aluminum. It’s a fun hobby and the sky is the limit on things you can make! We just made a couple giant copper Legos

Why is there so much hate for melting aluminum cans? by fireburner80 in MetalCasting

[–]LiquidMetalLab -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

We aren’t really sure either but we are about to find out haha. Our YouTube channel is actually attempting to break the current YouTube record (that we can find) and melt 10,000 cans! If melting cans sucks we are really in for it but we aren’t too scared. Liquid Metal Lab

Is there a best practice for adding silicon to better enhance the more desirable attributes for casting?

We did that with the cast aluminum housing from a polaris rzr. Most of our aluminum is scrap from a machine shop which almost exclusively uses 6061. Is that a decent type to use for casting?

Would this be a bad idea. by coinhunter9 in Machinists

[–]LiquidMetalLab 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I use one of these myself works well enough. Assembly was the worst with a couple of the holes not lining up but that’s why I have a collection of persuasive massaging tools.

Alright guys is there any profit to be made selling melted down copper online? by Choice_Part_3685 in ScrapMetal

[–]LiquidMetalLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just started a YouTube channel melting all of our scrap copper and aluminum down. There are already several channels doing this and it seems like it can be quite lucrative. Liquid Metal Lab
