Hi All,
I need to fabricate some small aluminum parts for a diagonal/spider design I
am working on. Is it possible to melt aluminum in a small cast iron skillet
using a propane torch as a heat source.  I have a damaged aluminum
automobile oil pan that I can cut up for scrap aluminum. The parts I need
are not large but are original design. I'll will have to make them. If I can
cast the basic form, I can machine the rest with the tools I have.
Clear skies, Jerry
