Any ideas on filtering, storage, delivery, and waist disposal of
used oil? Somehow, I need to keep the mess minimal. I'm thinking
of making a ceramic stand for the crucible, will that work? Or
making ceramic screens ? I need the pour clean or flaws will show
up during machining.

I built it big enough to do a large cast iron part in the future,
but will stick to aluminum for the moment.

I hang here to learn from those with more experience .


They flooded my email when I had that option turned off.

There is another one and they won't let me play.

You should be able to select a digest option that'll send 'em all in one
ortwo "digests" per day . Dunno what you read email with , I use OE and have
multiple inboxes set up , one for each email list I read . Makes it easy to
ignore one if I'm too busy right now to read ...
Can't imagine why a list wouldn't let you play .


I've basically given up on yeh hoo groups. The other one, I filled out
the request for invite and never got a response. I read a whole bunch,
but learned more from videos. Rejection isn't anything new to me, the
last two years of high school I lived alone and worked most of my life
alone.

Need to ask around for waist veggy oil, maybe that would be easier to
work with. But, that might have even more waist sludge that needs
disposal. Could burn it in the fire pit, but thinking it will burn
forever and hot, thus cracking the cool rocks around it.

Kinda at a stand still till I find more parts and work out the next
direction. I need a junk yard type place to buy stuff from cheap.
Finding just scrap steel to weld together is a task. I just keep
thinking about running out of stuff to build stuff because everybody
is broke and it disappears to the recycling scrap yards.

Know of a place to buy crucibles at? Always have trouble coming up
with search terms for sale. Buy, sale, cost, price, store, cart,...
Probably not buy one but would like to know what they cost for larger
ones.
