What types of things do you make out of aluminium?

2017-12-18 20:06:44 UTC  

@Thomas Ryan you can make just about anything. Aluminium is something ive only recently gotten into. I melt down cans so recycleing which is good just scoop out the slag and with enough cans eventually you have good pure aluminium. If you can build a desired mold you can cast it. Tools knives axes small parts etc. But with the forge down i cant cast and i cant smith steel either.

@Thomas Ryan aluminium is easy to work with because its melt temprature isnt very hard to achieve just a simple cjarcoal fire with a blower and you can get hot enough

Other hobbies include brewing mead which is a type of wine made from honey

@hyena that's awesome man. I saw a guy make an AR lower out of aluminum cans on youtube. Mead is delicious

2017-12-18 20:24:34 UTC  

@Tyler TX i totally agree its a shame you cant get it in most liqueor stores at least ive never seen it. Only ever been able to buy mead at renisance fairs thats why i started makeing my own

2017-12-19 00:50:49 UTC  

@hyena Pretty awesome man. Do you live off the grid or something?

2017-12-19 00:52:35 UTC  

@Chris GA ya, im hooked up to city water but my house is also surrounded by a creek so if i wanted to i could get off it. Other than that i generate my own power and i have a garden its only supplimental at this point but eventually the goals to produce all i consume

2017-12-19 00:59:34 UTC  

Nice. I would like to get to that point sometime. Probably get a place by a large river or creek to be able to make a hydroelectric generator. Solar seems like too much 💵 💵 💵

2017-12-19 01:04:00 UTC  

@Thomas Ryan I'm doing well, I'm just pretty much tied down during the week days because I work all day.

2017-12-19 01:04:21 UTC  

What about you?

2017-12-19 01:06:52 UTC  

@hyena If you're looking for fire bricks you can reuse bricks from very old buildings if you have any demo-ed in your area http://www.traditionaloven.com/articles/95/old-red-clay-solids-as-firebrick-alternative

2017-12-19 01:07:07 UTC  

@Chris GA solar really isnt that expensive my whole system panels batteries charge controller and inverter only coast about 3k and its enough power for me but im one dude

2017-12-19 01:07:39 UTC  

@Chris GA thanks

2017-12-19 01:09:27 UTC

2017-12-19 01:10:30 UTC  

Yup its much more dooable than people think

2017-12-19 19:17:03 UTC

2017-12-20 01:01:08 UTC  

@Thomas Ryan I'm well too. I might sound like a noob here but what is a NNM meeting?

2017-12-20 02:02:39 UTC  

@Chris GA There will be a Non-Network-Member meeting Wednesday, the 27th at 8 p.m. CST.

2017-12-20 02:03:32 UTC  

You can't see the channel, but you will be able to tonight after I change the roles around.

2017-12-20 02:13:58 UTC  

oh ok, cool. So if it's Non-Network I'm guessing it's in person, right?

2017-12-20 02:15:56 UTC  

Nope, it's for guys without a certain amount of guys near them, such as yourself.

2017-12-20 02:37:19 UTC  

Cool. I should be free then

2017-12-20 03:34:34 UTC  

Working again but if I can get to my safe space I can chime in and will definitely listen in when I can.

2017-12-20 03:37:58 UTC  

Strike that. I thought it was tomorrow. Will be working but I should be alone so I will be there.

2017-12-20 04:19:59 UTC
