This is the best can melting setup I've seen on TH-cam. I really like that you were using wood as fuel too. Pretty unique video. I'm assuming you will alloy that metal before you cast anything out of it.

Seen Pakistani video where dudes had a huge vat 3x that size in the ground where they were ladeling out filling production runs of small green sand molds. I've got a bunch of old 20 lb propane tanks. Figured I'd give it a go like this.

holy crap! very impressive. i enjoy the process of melting scrap and making stuff with it, so it seems worth it to me. but yes, it is tedious to do cans with a small propane furnace and crucible. its never stopped me though.

Great "Can do" show! 😁

[@VladekR]

That's a lot of sugar and caffeine 😂

[@tctc0nsulting]

Thanks. So, where should I send my cans for the next bigger melt?

[@DaveClarkThePatternGuy]

That’s generous, however Mrs Clark would have my guts for garter’s.

In Canada we pay a $0.05 deposit on pop cans - so your 36000 cans would be worth C$1800.00

Glad it’s fun :)

[@paulputnam2305]

Thank You for sharing your wonderful life with us. Great informative video. I like your way of thinking.
I immediately recognized those yellow buckets. I’m thinking you have a cat or two.
You could sell us an aluminum trinket you molded to help support your channel…

Two dogs, two cats

Oh, Canada☹️. We need nothing like this 💩.

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍 You in competition with BigstackD?

[@DaveClarkThePatternGuy]

No. Wife had enough of the mess in the basement.

[@TgWags69]

​@DaveClarkThePatternGuy a couple icb containers in the back yard holds plenty 😅

[@DaveClarkThePatternGuy]

Unfortunately I live in a development.

[@larrysmall3521]

Would coal be an option for fuel?

[@DaveClarkThePatternGuy]

I have use coal, and coke for fuel before. Both work great.

[@tobhomott]

🤐👍

[@brianmorris9085]

The big question is why! Lol

[@DaveClarkThePatternGuy]

I didn’t want to scrap them, but I wanted to condense the pile.
