Anyone that does metalworking will sooner or later benefit from having their own foundry. Melt down old metal and start casting your new creations. This is a very rewarding project, most people with a home foundry build it themselves. This particular build is one of the nicer ones in that it is 1.) Built out of stainless steel and 2.) It tilts for pouring molten metal into a mold.
You will need other sources to get all the steps needed to build a foundry, however this should give you some ideas if you decide to incorporate a tilt function. Check out the full writeup at Alan’s machine works site.
