Not effectively. We would need a oxy-acetylene, MAP, or a Oxy-propane torch set up. Then we would need sand for mold making, and we would have to make some mold boxes. If your making small parts you can use MAP gas from the hardware store, but if the parts get bigger, or you want to make a lot of them, it is far more cost effective to buy big bottles of oxy-acetylene or oxy-propane.
