Will you source the clays and sand? We can use my truck to haul them.
I also think it would be a good idea for you come out and pick over my
steel scrap pile.

By the way, I have an SUV that might be useful for moving especially heavy equipment/materials.

Awesome. What is the diameter of the burner? If we have that to work with, this entire project gets about 2x cheaper :)
It looks like this place has all the clay and sand that we need:
http://www.armadilloclay.com/rawmaterials/basicclays.html
50 pounds of the two clays (bentonite and fireclay) should be ample, 100 pounds of sand should match, and even might cover the mold-making.
Other than the cement and perlite, can come from home depot.
Anyone know any good places to find scrap steel bits. I typically hit metal-art stores dumpsters, and clippings from steel-yards.

I managed to get another 11 oz of small aluminum slugs for melting.
