Boredom strikes.
What do you do when you have several tons of scrap aluminum piled up (because junk isn't worth crap) and you're bored?
You repurpose a turn of the century wood stove and a rusty tailpipe and hair dryer into a forge.
Amazing what kind of flame you can get from one tiny piece of firewood and a hair dryer set on the lowest position. Within 10 minutes the cast iron walls of wood stove were glowing cherry red and it was melting down aluminum as fast as I could drop it into the crucible.
