They've got tons of info on metal casting. And even more on furnaces. And by the way, you don't need an air pump. It has something to do with having a venturi. The fuel will come out of a jet, mix with air and propel itself into the chamber. Much like a torch head. The only problem is you need to find carberatuer jets, or small drill bits specifically for drilling gas jets.
I'm weird, I know it, you don't need to tell me.

That is so cool Depot man, can you elaborate on your methods or is it like your video?

I think you should try to use Fnords way to make a mold. His gives the finished product a much nicer smoother surface. :D

But i dont want to look up the link :) , im too lazy. I think i want to mkake something like this except it will be a smelter, so i can make a cannon ball eventually.
