        Hey folks,

        Bit of a niche combo here, but I was wondering if anyone else is into gold melting with induction furnaces and archery?

        I’ve been using a small induction furnace for melting scrap gold — super efficient and way faster than torch methods. Clean melts, minimal oxidation, and great for casting small items like rings or arrowhead tips (yes, I’ve tried making a few custom ones).

        On the archery side, I mostly shoot traditional recurve bows, and I’ve recently started experimenting with hand-casting my own brass and gold-plated arrowheads just for fun and aesthetics.

        Anyone else blending these two hobbies? Would love to hear what gear you’re using — both for melting and for shooting!

        Cheers,
        Eric

          I’ve got a nephew that does aluminum and brass casting.  He built his own furnace and if I decide I need yet another hobby I can use his rig.

          As for archery I build my own gear.  Only thing I haven’t done yet is knap my own points.  My wrists won’t hold up to it.
