Allen Melting Brass
An oxy-acetylene torch was used to melt the brass in a jeweler's pouring bowl. A permanent clamp on handle was used instead of pouring tongs but either would work. As the brass was melted it was fluxed with borax and stired with a graphite rod.

Pouring happened so fast it was hard to get a photo.
Allan tossed the metal into the mold more than pour it.
The flask in use here is a two piece cast iron unit with dowel pins and a pouring cup for the sprue. Among the items poured were decorative fluer-de-lis, rosette and skull rivits to use on armor.
