Can a cheap Vevor furnace really melt copper?
Melting copper looks easy, but many people struggle to get it fully molten — especially with smaller, budget furnaces like the Vevor.
In this video, I show what proper copper melting actually looks like, why most beginners pour too early, and what really makes the difference when using a cheap furnace.
This isn’t about upgrading equipment — it’s about understanding heat, time, and patience.
If you’re struggling to melt copper, this should help.
I see beginners overcomplicate this all the time.
You don’t need expensive gear to start learning.
I wrote everything I’ve learned down in a short beginner guide.

Would you use a budget furnace like this, or save for something heavier duty?
Thanks for watching.
