Interesting concept - particularly combined with the author's crucible-in-mold technique:

Very cool. This is an interesting site. I forwarded to my dad who is interesting in doing some model steam engine machining and casting. Thanks ;)

Oh... sounds to me like you could really get yourself in trouble playing with a microwave like this. One of those rare times when doing something dangerous isn't necessarily fun! LOL Given that building a smelting furnace is really pretty simple (google it), I don't know why you'd want to get into trying to make a microwave do the job. Interesting, though.
