Construct a simple propane powered do-it-yourself smelting furnace from parts you can purchase at your local hardware store. With a smelting furnace you can melt down or heat metals like bronze, brass, aluminum, silver and gold to forge your own tools, jewelry and other items. This furnace should create sufficient heat to melt down metals that have a melting point below 1500 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, but will not create enough heat to melt steel or iron.

Brass has a relatively low melting point compared to iron, or steel, but it still requires a special furnace. Many beginning metalworking hobbyists start out with aluminum, which is easier to melt, but brass is often the next step. Make...
