640 x 480 is by far the best resolution on the forum as otherwise the image is so large that the scroll bars aren't available to hunt about on the picture :bang:

Thank you awemawson
Your right about the size, it is annoying to have to search around for the scroll bar  :thumbup:

Thanks for the posting.  That is one serious piece of equipment.  Have you made castings as big as this furnace can provide?

Hi John
its a nice thing to have, and i have made some 100 Kgs by now,
Actualy the pictures was taken yesterday while i was making casting for a new drive wheel for my diy belt sander, and i did fill the crucible to ca 4 cm from the top, so around 20Kg.
Man its hot to pour 20 Kg of hot metal one man, its not that easy to hold it at a distance, so the crucible was max 20cm from my legs  :drool:

Hi lads and lasses, a trick I use when pictures are too large or for my eyes the font too small is to hold the 'Ctrl' key and use the mouse scroll wheel to temporarily enlarge or reduce the page. Look at what ever then scroll t'other way back to normal. Yes, if you scroll to reduce a large picture you can't read the tiny font (at least I can't) so read it first, but hey, I get scrolling practice. You can do the same with the 'Ctrl and + -" keys too.
  Also works in emails with too small a font for old eyes waiting for the cataracts to be bad enough for the medical profession to correct.
    BUT, as has been said 640 x 480 is good 800 x 600 also works.
