Today I make some ingots of aluminum bronze in my fire brick furnace! Aluminum bronze is an alloy of copper and aluminum with some pretty amazing characteristics. It looks like gold, resists tarnishing, work hardens like nobody's business, and i hear it it can run a 5 minute mile. Ok, i may have made that last one up, but it's still pretty awesome.

I'm making this alloy for sand casting. My first project will come next week, and aluminum bronze hammer for blacksmithing. I'm doing this alongside fellow youtuber SWDweeb, his alloying video can be found here: youtu.be/ULdylV1sKDc

I built this furnace and burner, videos available on my channel somewhere. I can't be bothered to find the link. I'm sorry.

Ok fine, here's the furnace video youtu.be/QzbuNlCO52Y
