Hey Fred, captainjerk sent me over here, nice to find yet another person who is into metal casting 👍 Interesting setup for melting big pieces, I subscribed and hit the bell for more, I'll be watching 👍👊
Thanks, wait till ya see the large crucible I got , it’s not the largest, its huge, I’m out of service right now recovering from shoulder surgery, should have a casting video up in early spring!
I have 50 gal drum . My devil is nice to melt but time I need to cut down ant it sucks. That insert funnel where did you get that. Like she more on your set up . Ty
Thanks brother, it was my friend’s oil burner set up that made this video possible, that video is on my list as well. czcams.com/video/cZJ1PtlWScc/video.html all my videos suck 😝. We were thinking about a joint channel setup.
Lol, I didn't make it, I will check with dude, he has a more elaborate design now, we were gonna give it a go, but I developed a ulner nerve entrapment, maybe in the spring, thanks for watching!
@@FREDSHED How many wheels do you melt prior to emptying the stock pot? Nice setup. I use a wood fired stack melter and would love to move to similar. Are the bricks the 2300F fire bricks?
@@danharold3087 that was one wheel, and some other small car parts, the bricks came from an old fire stove, I'm not sure on the technical details of the bricks.
The wheel was aluminum, the rest is steel, the pot we used to collect the aluminum was stainless steel, we melted that thing, got a large crucible over the winter, can't wait till we use it.
It's made from a flat, clamp-on lid for a 55 gallon drum. Note the radial weld seam where a pie-wedge was removed before drawing the edges together & welding.

Sweet setup!
I have seen similar rigs, done several different ways.
This method seems efficient, and very cool! :D
Thanx Fred!
Nice, you're gonna love casting with wheelium!

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir playing in the backgroud, hell yeah!
The algorithm has spoken 🙏
Nice! Also cool to hear Kashmir by Led Zeppelin in the background 👍
I need that furnace in my life
Furnace: I need you in my life.
Me: I need my life in that furnace
You guys are nuts. Dipping that hot mold in the water...but I still like the video. Awesome video.
I'm curious. how hot does it have to get to melt that cast aluminum rim?
Is that BMW 19" wheel for 7 series ? (E65/E66)
Volkswagen, bmw it’s all from Europe
That's wheely cool 😊

@@FREDSHED joint channels are good but individuals dont have to split 50/50! Hope you guys can build a good trust! Sorry for being blunt bud!
Our friendship is longer than our marriages 😛. We share everything but our wives, lol
Fred's Shed At least 30 years now.
That's freaking awesome I need a friend like that !
Can you provide the design for this beauty?
Lol, I didn't make it, I will check with dude, he has a more elaborate design now, we were gonna give it a go, but I developed a ulner nerve entrapment, maybe in the spring, thanks for watching!
@@FREDSHED Thank you and I hope you get better.
I did the whole melting deal! I want that on my channel
Cool, subbing today
Thanks
How much allow is in that wheel?
how many hours to melt a single wheel?
To melt this wheel took roughly 20 minutes. Thanks for asking .

Son of a bitch! That worked very well Fred! Nice job. Sure a lot safe than cutting it up with a skil saw.
