Are you doing the casting yourself, or are you taking it to a foundry?

Myself. I cast tractor and hit and miss engine parts years back.

Do you do aluminum only or are you able to do iron?

I am limited to brass, but with my home built crucibles I like to stick to aluminum. Never tried to do iron as 2300 degrees would melt my crucible. If I had something that I really wanted to do, I would order a graphite crucible and give it a try. The difference working around the smelter from aluminum at 1200 and brass at 1750 is very noticeable, so iron would require some better protective clothing for sure.
