Description

This is where I do my casting. Oxygen/Propane Torch with Tanks, hoses and regulators. Acetelyene isn't connected as indoors it's messy. It's an alternate fuel to the propane.
Insulated Leather Gloves for touching hot things, but I usually just handle the mould with a set of pliers. It's faster than the gloves, but the pliers are just outside the picture. Also there is a carbon rod (12" * 5mm round) (not shown) for stirring the molten metal, just beside WD40.
Level 10 Eye protection. Gas mask as burning WD40 hurts the lungs as does silver/gold.
Clamp for holding mould shut, Large Crucible, 2 small crucibles, One wire mould, some fire bricks and a can of WD40.
