Finding people to help cast is hard! I've had a few metal melts here and I'm always having to do more than the body really can handle (bad shoulders and knees) I have a 1/2 built cupola, have a good idea where to pile the truck load of coke.
I probably have about a 1/2 ton of petrobond, Simpson muller and a power riddler. I'm thinking a cupolette, waste-full on fuel but one or two batches is all I can handle. Here a few pics of the shed I have dedicated to hot work, too much other stuff in my main shop, don't want to burn it down!!! plus the crushed limestone is the best floor for a foundry/blacksmith's shop.

Don't know when I'll do the next one they have been rebuilding the road in front of the house, when it's done will be real nice and easy to find, the detour isn't bad.
