Pouring Tools

In about 2 hours I threw together some tools to make pouring the metal from the crucible easy. For our first pour, we had a cheap wire contraption thrown together in about 5 minutes. I made a more permanent pouring solution out of rebar. I cut a 55'' long section of rebar. I ended up heating up the parts I needed to bend with an oxy acetylene torch. If you dont have access to an oxy acetylene torch you will have to weld them together. I bent a 5'' handle at the top, and then bent 2 hooks at the end of each side.

 

I then made a single hook with a T shaped handle to hook onto a U shaped rebar hook at the bottom of the crucible.
