Today I'm back to melting copper at home.  It works!  Sorta.  Melting stuff with charcoal works pretty well, but melting COPPER with charcoal doesn't work quite as easily.  There are a lot of cool things you can do with copper, however, like alloy it with aluminum to make aluminum bronze.  That's a thing.  

I'm using the mini metal foundry that i rebuild with castable refractory cement I got at the home improvement store.  He said it can melt copper, and he was technically correct.  The best kind of correct.  But it's not easy.  Would not recommend.  

To that end, i'm about to build a propane burner and a bigger foundry furnace with better insulation.  So, yeah, bring on the blue flames.
