Hey Dave Arens,
Pretty cool.
Another way to make a mold for pouring wire ingots is to use a piece of angle iron. Place an appropriate length on edge so it forms a 'V'. If you have 2 small pieces of an old or new fire brick, the ends can be imbeded in them enough to keep the 'V' properly oriented & block the flow of metal from the ends.
The result should be a triangular shaped wire ingot. Wouldn’t that
be easier to shape in the wire mill. I just love the ingenious tips
on Orchid!
Judy in Kansas, where she had no tornadoes nearby, but heavy rains
caused some groundwater seeping into the corner of the basement. Time
to re-grade the soil around the foundation. If you want to see some
