mmmm, zinc muffins!

That's pretty cool. I didn't think I had a need for something like this but now I'm trying to figure out what I can do with this info....

 A regular MacGyver that chap, arc welders from microwave parts etc. I would be interested in doing something like this furnace but scaled up a bit. I am wondering what would be needed, more power, bigger carbon rods etc. Would be great to melt down some old Vision engines and turn them into vintage bike parts....where's that big stirring rod of mine? Ha ha ha.
You like, oui?

Make sure you only melt down 83 Visions.  They have better quality aluminium.   8) 8) 8)

And be sure to add a wee bit of '36 Chevy piston - I think they have a bit of titanium in them.

Thank you Jirik!

Did you get the movie reference or find the comment humorous on it's own merit??

...worlds fastest vision? So I guess the molten 83s have a low viscosity  :laugh:
