Cool sparks, as the charcoal settles in the furnace, and the sun starts to set. I kept adding more aluminium until my crucible (a stainless steel sugar tub) was about three-quarter full. Just as I was picking up my gloves, ready to pour the metal into the mould my friend Ian turned up, out of the blue. Excellent timing - just before the exciting bit! :-)
