Hello Dave Yes with me the muscles are willing but the joints complain all the time. Patio stones are always a good workout. Glad to hear your going to build a furnace ,I always look forward to seeing the new ideas people come up with. :clap:

Did some work this morning. I have been trying to figure out a way of locking the lid lift in the raised and lowered position, not really neccessary with a steady foot on the pedal but for conveneance and safety it was sticking in the back of my mind. A dig through my magic junk box came up with a spring loaded plunger and a flat bar from a broken quik clamp. The pictures show what I came up with .

Cheers

Hello again;

Managed to complete the lid lift this afternoon. The first 2 pictures show the struts, lift rod and method of attachment.1 more day finishing off the cosmetics and this stage is basically done. Next refractories and burners.

It was so nice out today I decided to take her out for pics. :D

Cheers All

Hello Modders;

Managed a couple hrs. in the shop today, made some adjustments to the body and rolled and welded finish ring on preheat rack. Here's a couple pictures.

Thank you Rob.
I still have to make a trip down south for refractory supplies. In the mean time I am trying to modify a surplus fan I have to get the outlet pressure I am looking for. If unsuccessful I have a spare 3/4 HP dust collector fan that will do the trick. As this is a cost to the bottom line of operating the furnace I would rather not go oversized here.

Cheers
CB
