Almost forgot I still had another crucible failure catch tray to make and install. I used the dome out of what was left of the water tank I used for the furnace shell. Sliced of 2 sides and welded on angle iron sides/slides. Welded 2 more slides under deck. The dome is 3 1/2" deep at center, 1 1/2"s of sand built up on sides will easily contain the contents of a A8 crucible. Now its ready for refractory and paint, till I remember something else. :Doh: Cheers CB |

Spent the afternoon cutting/shaping insulating firebrick. Did a dry lay-up of all the firebrick I will be using . Its not perfect but its a forgiving process everything will be thinly buttered with morter and all interior surfaces covered with a 1" Uni-Cast 70 hotface including the bottom drain hole.The floor will get a 1 1/2" hotface.The burner port is not yet cut in the pictures.I ended up using less than half of the brick I had, so a few projects left thier yet. I also got more than half a 5 gallon pail of fines and offcuts which when easily crushed into granular and mixed with fireclay will make a good high temp insulating castable for the lid.The tops of the bricks will be finished off with 1/2" morter for a smooth finish. Cheers All CB |
