This is the final outcome that I wanted from stage one - pure metal to go into a crucible for stage two.

This is the blog for my attempts to make a prehistoric Willendorf Venus style statue out of recycled aluminium cans. I'll be building a couple of home foundry projects - one to purify the scrap aluminium and one for casting. For the final cast I'll use candle making techniques to make a custom mould to cast wax statues. These will then be packed in sand and baked in the oven for lost wax casting.

I agree with some other posters on the casting list...that you may want to add some copper to your pure aluminum to provide a better pouring alloy. Melting metal is fun!
