3DAnother arc melted button.
This was a failed attempt to cast nickel: The stem out the top (which was the bottom) is where it was supposed to flow out into a mold below. I was not able to maintain the temperature high enough (using my primitive arc furnace mentioned above) and it solidified in the crucible.
