Is this totally an insane idea, or can it be done?

Would it be possible to build a small extruder that can extrude say 20 kg e.g. Al?

I have the following machines in my my home workshop to try and do this, A Okuma LS-10, A wire EDM, A CNC Kneemill. MIG & Tigg welders etc.

Unfortunetly I never seen a extruder in action and all I know is what I could read. I would like any of you who knows their way around for any ideas.

And if anybody asks (My wife does on a daily basis) why do you want to do it? We answer Cause WE can!

So, can we do it - or not?
