Tonight I tried brass in the microwave crucible project. As with previous attempts using the propane foundry, it blew out a ton of zinc oxide, but less so, maybe because the top insulation prevents as much oxygen getting in. I can't find my big industrial copper waste so I'm melting brass cartridges. I collect lead off the road while biking and trade it with my work buddy for timed out reloads.
@smellsofbikes tripods!
@mavica_again It is very scifi.
It's also dumping a ton of zinc into the air I'm breathing, so I need to do something about that, like move this outside.
