This is a good picture showing the clothing that I
(almost) always wear. There are inherent dangers with a hobby of this
sort, and I try to practice safety as much as possible. Those are
CarHart overalls and jacket over my regular clothing, welding gloves,
heavy work boots and welding cap and clear face shield. Yes it is hot,
but I make do by taking jacket off while metal is getting up to
melting temperature. Anyways, here is a half-full crucible ready for
pouring.

I use one of my wife's old steel muffin tins as a mold
for my ingots. Actually it wasn't old when I swiped it, but we won't
get into that story now. Suffice it to say she has some really nice
new muffin pans now. Here you can see how the pouring handle fits into
the loop on the lower part of the crucible and is used to tilt the
crucible for pouring.
