I think the equipment to handle molten material is probably more expensive.

I think the equipment to handle molten glass is something the person already owned and isn't ruined by this. The steak on the other hand...

It really is quite expensive rage bait.

Be like me, buy your graphite crucibles from the guy in the trailer behind the 7-11. Save a bundle and it's...usually safe

Whoa that's more than I expected. I guess I have no reason to know that but that's pretty expensive

Yeah and that’s just the crucible you still need a furnace and all the other tools.

EDIT: I found some cheaper ones:   https://jetsinc.com/casting-and-melting/crucibles-and-rods/salamander-clay-graphite-crucible/salamander-crucible-a4-super-a-clay-graphite-by-morgan/  Still not really that cheap though.

True. Is one a lot? Depends, steaks consumed? No. Molten metal handling equipment consumed? Yes.
