Default aluminum cooking pots

You'd have to tell someone HOW you planned to make your aluminum pot,
and what size pot you want to make.
Are you going to cast it?
Are you going to cold draw it?
Are you going to hot forge it?
Are you going to spin it?
Are you going to fabricate it by welding several pieces together?
?

Each method has its own material needs. The expertise and equipment
needed for each method are unique, too, which you'd need to already
have, or be prepared to obtain.

Copper vessels are a lot easier to make by hand and without expensive
tools, since pure copper is very ductile. However, the skill set
necessary to do the job doesn't come easily and there is quite a bit of
manual (Google "raising copper")effort required to do it. Tinning the
vessel after forming it is not a big deal, if you need to do it all for
your application.
