Casting Maker Faire Ingots

Posted on September 10, 2016 by Carl Stevens

For the last few months Kayla has been working on casting a pile of ingots for Maker Faire Milwaukee. These ingots are made from scrap metal donated to the Milwaukee Makerspace by its members. Everything from Kayla’s personal favorite, hard drive casings, to parts of tools and engines. Its really cool to see her take trash and turn it into treasure in the form of aluminum bars.
