    I have no idea-- someone else will, no doubt-- but one possible
    solution would be to hollow out enough space in a charcoal block to
    use as a crucible, and melt/pour from that. Be sure to wrap the
    block *very* strongly with binding wire, or, better yet, fold a
    piece of copper to enclose all but the top of your block, to prevent
    accidents. Big block, small hollow!
