Does anyone here do backyard foundry stuff?

I have an unhealthy desire to melt stuff but I'm a little afraid to venture into the world of hairdryers and really hot fires on my own.

I may have some old plumbing tools like ladels and propane related to melt and pour lead if anyone is interested I will take a look.

Start with pewter at first to get a feel for the process, it has a low melting temperature and is really cheap. Do you have any specific ideas in mind for a first project?
