Third hand in action. We burned up the floating coal before we got to the pour on this one. But you can still see the hand in action. One of the drawback of this design is that it is difficult to see the start of the pour with the wood in the way. I'll work on that. [And yes I know about his shoes. I told him to bring leather shoes. He brings leather flip flops (I am not kidding). When he switched into those, I noted that "That particular shoe design will actually let in the copper and the leather will hold in your shoe." He just smiled. And I know about the concrete. It is all I can do to get the land lord to let me do this much. I am making a mobile sandbox as we speak.] Anyway we poured 50lbs of copper computer parts into ingots this day. At 37 sec you can hear a loud ping. That is the crack in the pot expanding. There are three "X" in the bad molds. I will lose this cornbread mold soon.
