First attempt at casting copper bars

Smithys Bullion - FINE GOLD AND SILVER
Apparently you've gotta heat the fk out of those moulds to get a good pour. You'll probably need two torches for the larger one. What size is that anyway? Looks like a 100oz or 5kg.

The bigger one is just under 2kg of copper when full. The mold is tapered which makes for a nicer bar.

I've got a gas torch to pre-heat the molds. It takes a few minutes to get them to glow red, then I pour.

Pretty cool. Keen to see what you produce. You could make it official and grab the silveroos.com stamps from Smithy.
