Dual Fuel Gingery Type Furnace
Toolshed:
Not sure if I already touted the AlloyAvenue website here. Those guys know their sh!t when it comes to making furnaces and they are always helpful to new folks! They helped me get from ZERO to casting....
From what I read over there, don't even bother with the prelite/grog....You'll be crying soon after.
ALSO, there are a lot of Canadian posters who might be able to help source more local things for you. Though no one within a days drive of you....

Hey TOOSHED,
Yes I have been on Alloy Avenue I found I was spinning my wheels in loose sand and left. All of Ontario is within a days drive of me except for the area west of Thunder Bay to the Manitoba border. An early summer road trip to the Toronto area should fix me up with the harder to find materials I need.
Cheers

Hello all;
I managed to get in a couple of afternoons in the shop, fixed one screw-up and built the mobile base for the carriage.
Here are some pics.
1. The angle iron and deck cut, mitered and clamped ready to weld.
2. The casters and mounts ready to install. Didn't have matched set so, Heavy iron core swivels on furnace end, standerd duty on light end.
3. Casters installed, all welded up.
4. Crucible failure catch pan slide supports installed.
5. And just to try it out to see how it fits.
Cheers all :beer:

Hello all;
Did not do much today, high winds nocking power out all afternoon. Got the ingot mould/crucible failure catch pan welded and fitted. This ones for aliminum
I will make a pan lined with refractory or a couple of inches of sand for the occassional iron melt. Its a good idea but its not my idea I have seen at least 2 other builders use this type of setup.
Here are some pictures.
Cheers All

Are you planning to allow the melted metal to drop right through the bottom of the furnace, directly into the ingot mold?
