I am thinking about breaking down and purchasing a silicon/carbide or clay/carbide crucible. Budget Casting Supply sells them and it would be the best way to go. Making a crucible out of mild steel pipe or something similar can be done but they don't last as long, are often close to failure as even aluminum gets to pouring temperatures and as I have witnessed can burn through quickly. A potentially dangerous situation.
I figured while I am ordering my Petro Bond, maybe I pop for the better crucible and related tongs, etc.
