Make your own ingot molds. - Patrick-C - 02-10-2021

I just made myself a pair of ingot molds for aluminum, brass, and copper. I made one using a welder and the other I bolted together.

Typically I used 3 or 4 inch wide by 6 to 8 inch long drops of channel iron. Welded a piece on each end and called it good. The taper on the inside of the channel made it easy to remove the ingots.

I just tested those molds out and they worked great. My youtube channel turned 1 today as well.



This next year is going to be nothing but better for my channel.
