I love this! I earned a Master's degree in metalsmithing/jewelry and as soon as I finish my doctorate I'll be smiting metal again.

I had no idea you could get a PhD in metal working, I would have thought it was a trade-track profession. Is it an art degree or something people would get for more general purposes as well?

Thanks a lot, I've done much silver brazing and understand the requirement of flux, but had not considered the idea of a reducing flame to cast, which is what I would like to do, lots of good tips and great set up

Great video - does it matter when you add the flux? e.g can you add it a the time of placing the grain in the crucible?

🤔How does this compare to a small eclectic melting furnace? I bought the 1kg Tilt-Pour Electro-Melt Furnace last month from Pepe Tools and have yet to do any silver casting but plan to. as I currently understand, the furnace will create a near-free oxygen environment...and I can pore it like a jug of water into a mold minimizing exposure to air.
