New ingot mold? Check. 15 lb melt? Check!

Hey all.

I have a pile of large housings and odd shaped objects that wouldn't fit in my little crucible without breaking down...so I thought it was the perfect time to test out my large crucible and see if I could hit that 15 lb single melt goal I had set when I build my water tank furnace.

The ingot mold was build with random scraps laying around, but the end pieces were pretty rusted and I didn't grind them down enough, causing issues with releasing the ingot...and proper penetration of my handle weld :/

Either way, this was a fun melt!
