what’s up guys welcome back thanks for
joining us today on the king of random
in the past we’ve shown you how to make
your very own backyard foundry using a
metal bucket and this stuff called kayo
wool well this has worked out great
we’ve used it for a whole bunch of
different projects and today we’re going
to try and upgrade and build ourselves a
larger foundry using this bigger 31
gallon trash can the basic principle is
that we have our metal trash can which
will contain the heat nicely but it’s
very conductive and would easily let the
heat escape out into the air so we have
this stuff called pelo wool which is a
very good insulator holds the heat in
extremely well in fact you can put a
blowtorch on one side of this and your
hand on the other side won’t even feel
it I don’t think it’s even warm after
that so that’s the plane will line the
whole can with the Kol that way we’ll
have the metal container which contains
everything and the KOAT wolf will hold
in the heat now that we know we’re gonna
do let’s get started a quick note about
the kayo wool it’s a fiber e substance a
lot like fiberglass so it’s very
irritating if it gets on your skin or
especially if you breathe it in so I’m
going to be wearing a dust mask and
that’s why I have this long-sleeve shirt
so it doesn’t make my arms all itchy
there we go hopefully that’ll keep me
from breathing in too many fibers as a
first step I want to add a lining at the
bottom of our trash can I’m going to set
the trashcan on top of the cable and
then trace around that I’ll cut that
circle out and that will go in the
bottom of our can
all right we’ve got our circle cut out
now we’re just gonna push that down into
the bottom of our trash can now the KO
wall is at the bottom of our trash can
and that will insulate really well but
it’s not very stable surface if we want
to rest up on it here we’ve got some
compressed ceramic fiber board that will
work as a stable base it’s a type of
board that insulates really well and
since it’s rigid it should be better for
standing things on than just the K award
[Music]
now I probably want to cut this just a
little bit inside of wearing mark
because the very bottom of the trash can
is just the tiniest bit wider than the
inside bottom of the trash can I suspect
so we’ll have a little bit of play maybe
if I cut it too small but that’ll still
be better than having to be too big and
not fitting
[Music]
alright there’s a circle that looks
pretty good let’s see if that fits in
the bottom of our can ah it’s beautiful
there we go a nice flat surface that’ll
be much nicer and trying to balance
stuff on unstable kayo wool alright now
I’ll try and take our cable and line the
entire inside of it to figure out how
much of this cable I’m going to need
them just gonna put the whole roll down
in the can and then I’ll unroll it onto
the sides as much as I can and then mark
where I want to cut it sort of start
with it inside there get a nice and
pressed up against the sides of course
the trash can is not a perfect cylinder
so it is a little bit wider at the top
and the bottom I’m gonna try and account
for that alright I’m gonna take my
marker and mark I’m gonna give myself
some extra that I can later trim off as
I do fine-tuning without all the weight
of the extra cable getting in my way
nothing’s the trashcan is like I said
very slightly tapered ideally RKO will
would have a slight arc to it to fit
perfectly around the edge we’re just
going to fake it a little bit by cutting
one sided a bit of an angle and I think
we’ll get a pretty good fit so I did the
rough cut before now I’m going to see I
can get that a little bit more refined
you can see that the edges are
overlapping by quite a bit at this point
this is where one side is so I’m going
to mark that right there and the other
one is right here and once again I am
going to give myself a little bit extra
because it’s better for it to overlap
some than for there to be gaps
right see how we did it is overlapping
just a little bit which like I said it’s
not a problem just take some squishing
and persuasion
there we go that’s looking pretty good
right there the main body of the can is
lined so now let’s quickly cut out a
piece the right size and shape for our
lid wonder if a knife would be easier
than scissors so I’m just gonna try that
and see if I like it any better as you
can see I am leaving an inch wide gap
that’s the same thing that we did with
our smaller foundry this way when we
push it into the lid it will have a
little bit of pressure on it and help
hold it in place there we go
hmm I don’t think it’s gonna compress
enough with that extra border I left on
it this lid has an interesting shape to
it there’s a lip that extends off of the
edge I think by adding an additional
inch to what was already added by the
lip my cable is now too wide to fit
inside the inner area of this circle so
I’m gonna cut it down just to where I
measured it with the marker and see if
it fits any better
all right now we’ve got our slightly
smaller circle let’s see if that fits
into our lid any better
oh yeah that’s exactly what you want
being pushed in a little bit it’s not so
tight that it won’t fit but it’s big
enough that it’s still got some pressure
holding it in Hey
that’s what we’re hoping for and let’s
give it a try throwing it on our hand
beautiful that should be one insulated
trashcan at this point now we’ve got the
walls and the lid covered in our
insulating cable and for now it’s
holding himself on really well but with
our mini foundry overtime as it got
heated up and cooled down and heat it up
and cooled down time after time the kayo
wool lost some of its rigidity and began
to slump a little bit so I’ve got some
hardware and I’m gonna use that to
attach the wool to both the lid and the
sides of the trashcan a little bit so
that down the road we don’t run into
that problem
the machine screw that I’m using here is
a little longer than I need so I might
end up replacing it later that should
hold it up pretty nicely now I’m going
to do the same thing at three points on
the lid
[Music]
now no matter how much structural
integrity this ko loses it should hold
itself on pretty well it’s attached now
we’ve got a very well insulated trashcan
but no way to add heat so let’s drill
some holes into the sides and the lid so
we have a place for the propane heat to
go in and for some ventilation to go out
I’m gonna try and make the holes in our
large foundry at the same height off the
ground as the holes under mini foundry
that way the wooden blocks that we use
to support the burners will work at the
same height plus if we have anything
that’s just on the bottom of our foundry
we’ll know that it’s getting the heat
that it needs
well that’s smooth turns out a hole saw
is not the very best tool for cutting
through very thin steel but it’s what
I’ve got so let’s try it on the other
side
that actually almost won smooth all
right just as an experiment to see if
you try and use a hole saw on Kol what
happens
[Music]
still not perfectly but much better with
those holes added I think our full size
backyard foundry is ready to test with
heat now I do have a concern that the
spacing of the hose with these was
designed with the mini foundry in mind
and I’m not positive they’ll stretch out
far enough to really angle the way we
want them to on the large trash can
we’ll see what we can do
you might be alright alright I did get
both of them in and slightly angled but
as you can see the hose is being pulled
really tight and I don’t think it’s
gonna cause any problems for our test
but we’ll probably want to add a little
bit extra hose before we use this
foundry for any extended amount of
burning
whoo that gets toasty quick you can see
that the burners aren’t angled quite as
much as it should be that’s partly
because our hose isn’t long enough so
while it is heating it up pretty well
it’s not really circling around quite as
much as we like it to let’s so the lid
on and let this thing get really warm
[Music]
turned off I’m just gonna see oh ah that
is toasty in there like the fire is not
going but it still just really really
warm inside there there you go that is
how to make a large-scale backyard
foundry there are a few different things
we’re thinking of trying with this
foundry it’s obviously much larger than
our normal backyard foundry which is
gonna let us do a few more things with
it we’ll be able to fit a large crucible
and we also might try firing some
ceramics in this Forge I also took some
of our leftover cable and I realign the
mini furnace and I was impressed at how
easy it is to do that it only took me a
couple minutes to completely replace the
lining this is a great little furnace
you can build and use and if the kale
will get so old that’s falling apart
it’s very easier place in just a few
minutes I’m really looking forward to
trying out some experiments with our
large foundry to see what it can really
do thanks for joining us for this
project and we’ll see you in the next
one talk to you then seems like a
Captain America shield and this one’s
like a Captain cotton shield not a very
good shield
hey guys I hope you’re having a great
day you are awesome you are appreciated
and I know everyone over here on my team
is really grateful for you
thanks so much for choosing to watch and
