LillyHillBrewer I guess your new to this, the reason its a good idea is it gives the mould a double function in the case of aluminum, you store it under the furnace so if you have a crucible failure and they do happen, your crucible will empty through the drain hole into the ingot mold rather than onto the ground.If your casting ingots its a simple matter to slide it out when you are ready to pour.

With iron were crucible falures can be so much more dangerous A refractory lined or partly sand filled pan will catch the contents of your crucible. You may be thinking of a direct melt furnace that some builders use to melt scrap aluminum they work but are highly oxidizing and are used mainly to reduce scrap to ingots, to many contaminants for direct casting.

You're right; I am new.  Been reading about all this for a few months and trying to learn.  What you described makes perfect sense.  Thanks!

Hello;

Here's what I should have finished yesterday till the power bumps screwed me up. Bolted the bottom section to deck using 3/8 X 1" NC bolts and lock washers.

Here's a couple of pics. On to the lift assemblies.

Cheers

Your to kind TOOLSHED, thank you.

I managed to get a couple of hrs. in the shop this afternoon. Started on the lifting arch which both lifting assemblies will attach too.

Here are the pictures.
1. Arch deck mounts welded and drilled to accept 1/2 X 4" bolts.
2. A salvaged greasable bushing mandrel with pully, to be used as top lift pully for cable lift.
3.Arch cut mitered and welded with mandrel fitted to top of arch.
4.Arch installed in deck mounts.
5.How it looks so far.

Cheers all
CB
