I find that the Admiral's words are quite accurate. This is one of the finest setups I have ever seen. I am seriously going to revamp my designs. Excellent work, Dragon.
Great setup and adaptation of the burner design. Great to see people taking ideas and building on them. Love the modification of the leaf blower. Great thinking there. Well done!
What a great system. The ingot molds, frame and rack are perfectly designed and that oil burner explanation made it less intimating than I thought it was. Thank you
my younger brother and I have made a burner based on your design last weekend have only test run it but should work a treat thank you for putting up your videos MP Dragon has helped us alot
I really like some of the designs you show in this video. A few years ago I built one out of an old BBQ. I used refractory concrete but it eventually cracked quite a bit. When I do it again my liner will be made of refractory concrete but cast into bricks to avoid some cracking and making it easier to repair. I use propane, but I like the idea of using waste oil as long as it doesn't smoke or stink. It looks like you've got that all figured out. I've used everything from bellows with bituminous coal and anthracite coal, to charcoal and it was so bad. Propane really did the trick for me. I like the design of the tools for the crucible. They look pretty secure. There may be room for improvement with maybe a latch instead of a screw. But it looks quite good. Great job!
nice setup, looks like you are using the same method I use with a few variations. I'm building a larger one now so to melt iron I am probably going to need to re vamp my burner to accommodate the extra area
that's really a nice setup! 👍 I got a foundry too, but mine is small and is charcoal powered. When I'm going to build a bigger version I think I'll borrow one or two ideas from you ;)
One of the better setups I have seen, the simplistic nature and the limited tools required to build this are in most peoples grasp. I did want to know if you made the directional sprayer or if the oil is just dumped into the combustion chamber on yours.
That's got to be one of the better back yard setups ive seen!. Ideas like the table for flipping out ingots is fantastic. can you use any waste oil (eg engine oil) or preferably bio oils like vegtable, olive etc?
Es justamente lo que estaba buscando un quemador de aceite usado para fundir aluminio sin que el aceite caiga de lleno al horno de fundir por ende la combustión es mas eficiente y no sale humo al quemar el aceite. Gracias por compartir
Love your video! Great design, especially the ingot molds and support that considers what happens after the metal is poured! Wondering what you used for the burner, steel pipe? Looks about the same diameter as the crucible. Can you recommend a good diameter, maybe 8 to 10 inches?
Can you make a video on how you built it step by step because you might need to redo some parts of it by looking at the comments. Also this is the best Metal Melting Channel I have seen yet, Well Done!
Do you think if you made a insert that would reduce the size of the furnace (inside) when using a small (compared to the area in the furnace) size crucible, that it would make the furnace more efficient. It seem like you have a lot of space in the furnace. But nevertheless great job thanks. I do love the ingots stand & the way you just flip them over.
crucible temperature is determined by the material it's made of, steel crucibles wouldn't work for metals that are close to it's own melting temp, so no lol but you could make a similar shape with graphite clay and do that
Did you use regular cement or refractory cement? Refrac cement is working well in my furnace. What other kinds of oil could you use other than waste oils? I don’t have access to much waste oil.
Nice setup! Could you not add a third bolt on the side you screw the pouring attachment on to make it easier than screwing in the fixing bolt? Also, where do you get your used oil from?
Hello, I am from Argentina, I would like you to show me how to build the oil burner for the aluminum smelting furnace and if you can include any design with measurements. Thank you
how powerful should the air supply be? I am starting to make a foundry just like your new one , however because I own a garage I have an endless supply of oil so I want to have an oil burner instead of the propane one.
This is awesome! Please consider a more detailed update video. Your setup is way better and way simpler than any others I've found here on TH-cam. If you haven't already, please also consider uploading your videos to UGETube. Its fast, easy and they're not censoring content creators. I was able to transfer 6 of my videos straight from YT to UGE in a few minutes. Cheers brother
Dude, this is the best foundry setup I've seen on TH-cam.
I find that the Admiral's words are quite accurate. This is one of the finest setups I have ever seen. I am seriously going to revamp my designs. Excellent work, Dragon.
Admiral Percy you could not have said it any better. that is,a great set up.
yep, GOAT, got some major forge envy goin on, mine sucks
\
Simple and efficient and MP Dragon goes straight to the point.
I agree. I've been looking for a design to make mine. I found it.
I really like your videos. Your ingot molding station is slick. What a great design!
Great setup and adaptation of the burner design. Great to see people taking ideas and building on them.
Love the modification of the leaf blower. Great thinking there.
Well done!
What a great system. The ingot molds, frame and rack are perfectly designed and that oil burner explanation made it less intimating than I thought it was. Thank you
This is beautiful. I admire your ingenuity. thanks for the setup tips
my younger brother and I have made a burner based on your design last weekend have only test run it but should work a treat
thank you for putting up your videos MP Dragon has helped us alot
love the setup, I can see the accumulation of knowledge that went into this setup.
Thank you for making this video. It seems to be a simple enough design to follow for upgrading my own furnace.
Well thought out. A really outstanding setup!
Great set up, and nice work on the video demonstration! Thankyou for sharing sir!
This is probably the best I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you very much.
That is a beautiful set up with much thought in it. Thank you for sharing
Excellent video. You did a great explaining your set up. The ingot set up is very clever.
Thank you for this awesome video! Infornative, simple, effecient and an inspiration.

You did an awesome job building this! 👍🏻
Simple and effective! Great stuff! Thanks!
Best set up on TH-cam, so glad I found your channel on its first video ;)
amazing video and one of the best not to mention one of the cheaper setups ive seen looks like im going to upgrade my furnace.
mate you have just what i am looking for, i will definitely try this...keep the videos coming please...awesome stuff...
What a great set up! Smart thinking!
Best video of Al foundary setup. Great job
Thanks for the video, man! Killer design for the ingot rack! :)
Very well done and explained!
Thank You @MP DRAGON for the best video I have seen on UTube to date! Awesome creativity and intellegence.👏👏👏👍🖐
Great set up and Thanks for posting the vid! Subscribed.
Thanks for showing your set up.
great setup, with some really nice ideas!
Nice foundry and nice video. Thanks!
i love your videos your amazing and its high quality stuff !
Very nice setup ! I wish I had you welding skills !
love your videos bud, keep makin em
Bro that is a nice monster you have made, Love it.
Wow that's a awesome setup !!
awesome setup!
Wounderful vedio, it really helpful, we have big recycling factory in South Korea. Thanks for making such a informative vedio.
Simple but effective... Nice 'n crafty - thx 4 sharing.
good setup. well made, and best part. it's simple and works.
I just found my new learning video. Thanks
Thanks for making this, I've been curious about your furnace since I started watching.
Great video! Thanks for all the information!
Very nice video.Thank you.
Holy crap, that's extremely smart. I think I'll have to do something like that in the future.
Great setup!

Most legit setup on youtube for sure!
Great set up.
You are doing good stuff! Can't wait to see more, I hope in the future you wil invest in some slow motion camera for your destruction footages ;)
That's got to be one of the better back yard setups ive seen!. Ideas like the table for flipping out ingots is fantastic.
can you use any waste oil (eg engine oil) or preferably bio oils like vegtable, olive etc?
thank u very much for this video its nice and inforational, im hopin to make one soon for meting bronze lol
i sub u for u maybe gonna melt bronze
Really good and informative video
Great set up, looks very efficient. I've never used waste oil but I would copy your design if I did.

FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDS THEIR GREAT
You're channel is cool, bro.
Great setup.😀 best I have sean
Yes it is a great video. What is the make of the leaf Blower? Great job!!
Love your video! Great design, especially the ingot molds and support that considers what happens after the metal is poured!
Wondering what you used for the burner, steel pipe? Looks about the same diameter as the crucible. Can you recommend a good diameter, maybe 8 to 10 inches?
Thanks for making this
Keep it up bro,I like ur vids
Great video! I'm wondering how the air supply hose does not melt from the heat?
Pretty cool
Can you make a video on how you built it step by step because you might need to redo some parts of it by looking at the comments. Also this is the best Metal Melting Channel I have seen yet, Well Done!
Perfect find. I'm working on an aluminum bat myself and happened across it! was wondering though, what size is your crucible you're using?
Hello, I love your videos. Do you have pictures of the construction of your oil burner?
This is awsome!
very nice and simple :)
Kudos!! Badass!!!
I love your vidour am going modify my own thanks a lot
What is your rate of oil consumption during use? What is the capacity of your tank and how long will it last?
I'm enjoying your videos so much sir.
May i know how many kg of molten aluminum can you hold in your custom crucible?
The best design I have seen is excellent.
Is oil fuel useful for melting copper?
Do you think if you made a insert that would reduce the size of the furnace (inside) when using a small (compared to the area in the furnace) size crucible, that it would make the furnace more efficient. It seem like you have a lot of space in the furnace. But nevertheless great job thanks. I do love the ingots stand & the way you just flip them over.
Your crucible is by far the best on TH-cam. I was wondering can it melt copper?
No it could not, as that is designed to melt aluminum at 660 C while copper melts at 1084 C
the cement is not going to do well against heat as it is. maybe it could with a better coating than cement
You should not melt copper in a steel crucible, it will dissolve the steel and ruin the crucible as well as spill all over the furnace.
yeah graphite crucible and something that actually is heat resistant would do wonders
crucible temperature is determined by the material it's made of, steel crucibles wouldn't work for metals that are close to it's own melting temp, so no lol but you could make a similar shape with graphite clay and do that
That is epic as f!_!ck dude 👍 sweet setup.
can you share details on how you made the oil burner? Thanks!
Did you use regular cement or refractory cement? Refrac cement is working well in my furnace.
What other kinds of oil could you use other than waste oils? I don’t have access to much waste oil.
Awsome settup!!! are you able to get it hot enought to melt copper to make bronce??
I like your set up.
What type of oil do you use ?
Hi! What you recommend to use instead concrete? Thanks
Thats awesome.
what size water tank did you use?
I'm jealous. Very nice and well thought out set up. What is the hottest you have got the temperature up to?
Thanks so much
Nice setup! Could you not add a third bolt on the side you screw the pouring attachment on to make it easier than screwing in the fixing bolt? Also, where do you get your used oil from?
Cars
Very nice
Much more money could be spent but I doubt a better set up can be had
Hello, I am from Argentina, I would like you to show me how to build the oil burner for the aluminum smelting furnace and if you can include any design with measurements. Thank you
good aluminum molds
Hello inside, could you explain how to make the burner if it has a curve through which the oil and air passes, please thank you
you should definately do more casting videos :D
This was awesome. You should do a giveaway and give away an aluminum bat. =)
Would you recommend fire rated brick an alternative to the cement liner ?
Would fire rated bricks require grouting the joints ?
Muy interesante para mis necesidades, espero construir uno parecido, gracias
how powerful should the air supply be? I am starting to make a foundry just like your new one , however because I own a garage I have an endless supply of oil so I want to have an oil burner instead of the propane one.

This is the best
Is it possible to run a smaller foundry like this but without a forced air supply?
Хорошая 💡 идея
