Looking for someone with a small melting furnace in the Boulder, CO area

[starr256]

I have about 20 pounds of old brass fixtures, about 2 pounds of brass chips and 2 pounds of bronze chips. I would like to melt it all down into round bars or rectangular bars. I am looking for someone with a small melting furnace that would consider doing this for me, for a fee of course. Please send a PM if you would be interested.

Hopefully the metals are compatible, once, I alloyed brass/bronze with some silicon bronze, the result shattered like glass, with little strength.

I have enough of each to do separate castings.

If you're only doing melts of 2 lb at a time, you could probably pull it off just fine in a crucible with an oxy-acetylene torch and a rosebud tip. There are other options if you don't track down a proper furnace.
