Dual Fuel Gingery Type Furnace
inthesticks:
Hello again;
Following is the last couple days work. In 1st pic. are 6 alignment tabs hammered out of junk box brackets and the lifting bolts and attachments. I am using 3 1/2" shoulder bolts to extend the measurment between the lifting arms by 4". This will allow a 20" shell if I decide to play with a larger furnace in future and allow me to use the same carriage and lifting mechanism. Pics 4,5 and 6 are the parts and assembled preheat rack. Essentially the shell is complete. The bottom lip of middle section will get a refractory support ring and once the lid lift is complete I can fit it to the lid then the rack will get a finished edge around it's circumferance to avoid snags.
Break time, got to clean up the mess I've made so far and catch up on chores. :whip:
Cheers All :beer:
PS: I know the welding could be better, but heck I'm getting old and shaky.

OOPS! :doh:
Just re-read my earlier post (12 June 2016) and I am NOT using a 1 litre bucket. That would be ridiculously small. I meant to type that I was starting with a 15 litre bucket. Slightly larger. :Doh:

hi CB - just a suggestion : the preheat rack (pic 18) has the raw edge of the mesh which is likely to catch either skin or clothes - you might want to consider tacking say a 1/4" rod round the outside?

Hello John B
Ha ha yes 15 liters sounds more usefull :clap:
Hello Dmion
Please reread the post. I address this in the last line of the main body of the post. The edge can't be finished untill I determine where the lid lift struts will cross the edge of the rack. It will require trimming in 2 locations before the finished edge can be applied.
Cheers
CB
