If you smash those pipes flat, you'll get more and you're crucible.

I consider myself a safety third, more than a safety first, and even then, I identify hazards, and implement measures to reduce the risk (chance) of a hazard occurring. You can never get to 0% risk which is why safety third. 1. Those tongs are able to slip off a crucible weighed with molten metal and spill the contents. Definitely recommend acquiring a different pair that grabs around the crucible without sliding off. 2. The propane, furnace, and mold are arranged so you have to attentively step over the gas line and not trip over it while carrying hot material. 3. Protective gear. Some leather will go a long way keeping splatter or spills from burning exposed skin. Thanks for sharing the vid. Congrats on your first ingot. Hope your smelting continues as well as this one did.

Yeah. I know. Need pants. Need better tongs to pour. I was just using the ones it came with. Thought about all of this while I was doing this. Thanks for the input.
