I'd be interested in a photo or two of your castings - sounds like you are doing some interesting projects.

Bye for now,

John.

Martin,
Ever since reading your post about the struggle and hazard of trying to pour that much at one time safely, have been on a hunt for a video that I saw a few months ago.
Well this morning after a diligent search, finally found it and thought this idea might be of some interest to you.

Hi Bubba
Greate idear, but in my case its not that big of a problem, i do have the size to handle it, 193 cm high, and on the good site of 100kg (not being fat)
But still greate idear, and if i build an other furnace i might design it so it could work out with such trolley  :thumbup:

But the big crucible is not the one i use the most, only for big things, or cleaning the aluminium (making ingots)

The smaller one i have take 8Kg aluminium and then i have one that takes 3kg

Nice furnace! I could have used a larger one myself for my last pour which was short on the riser and sprue, but just squeaked by with a usable casting! Still would like to see photos of your big castings, even if simple shapes.  :beer:
