A couple of times, I've used old pie tins. I would make a mold out of
something (like packed sand), and hold the pie tin with a tong-thing, and
melt it into the mold using a blow torch. It's not the world's best thing,
but it works pretty good for making things like wheels.

Metal can be found very cheaply at the big home stores. Also, look
around! Scrap yards, flea markets, etc. You can find many sources for
