[TheForge] one time use crusible

[David E. Smucker]

Weld a bottom to a short section of pipe, and the line with clay, one of the 
fire clays is best but even local clay will work.  Let the clay air dry. 
Then and this is very important -- bake the whole thing in your oven for a 
number of hours.  You want the clay bone dry (no water in molten metal). 
Then try it.
