[Cody'sLab] Can I Use Thermite to Cast an Iron Pan?

I used to dream of doing casting like this. Just before I was disabled 10 years ago, I had all the supplies on hand to build my first sand casting setup. Watching this, there is no chance in hell I would have been successful in my first half dozen attempts. It is funny to me; watching Cody I feel comradery with his apparent financial means, but having all that space available to play in seems like a rich luxury at this point. Also, seeing his education and background seem to have little value in the real world.
