To Mikey:
My understanding is that the crucible can be made from a steel pipe. I am planning on using a section of well pipe that I have saved and welding a bottom to it. If you do a google/video search for "myfordboy" he has I believe 24 videos on the backyard foundry and casting steps. He has a unique crucible design and retrieving tool that also works for pouring. I think you would appreciate checking it out.
Anyways I really look forward to learning and hearing more about your adventure.
