When we look around we can see aluminum all over the place molded into different objects that we use daily. I took a few photo's of the aluminum parts I used in my foundry and turned them into aluminum ingots that will be used again when I will start my sand casting. I also separate the aluminum alloys and mark on the ingots what object it was before. In my images I melted a nut cracker, lock parts, cooker parts, door handles, tap handles, tripod legs, scooter parts (choped to fit the crucible), aluminun brackets, toy car, glasses stand, toilet hinges, wine bottle cork and ladder parts.
