Thank you for your enthusiasm OZ, I am looking forward to some melts too. Building some mold boxes today. I believe I have been to a few sites on sourcing and making your own sodium silicate, very interesting. Unfortunatelly one of the non-pleasures of living in the sticks is the slow internet service. The few big providers in Canada can't make outragious profits out here :( but thats a rant for a different thread. Anyway it makes videos too time consuming for me to access. Cheers OZ CB |

Excellent build, I may use some of the features on my next furnace build, I want one in the garage so I can cast year round with a hood vented outside Im looking forward to seeing some of your castings! |

Thanks Tom, yes casting year around in Canada, when I finish insulating and heat my garage I'd like that too. Made a couple of molding flasks and bottom boards today. Nothing special just 2 light wieght 12" x 13" flasks to get me started. Cheers CB |

I hear you! My garage has had the plywood exposed for 20 some odd years so this year it was taken back to frame and reskinned and that plastic siding attached. I had them build a extra gable on the roof so I can put up some video cameras. |

Hello Tom, Yes when I built my garage/workshop I completed the shell and exterior I purchased OSB board and insulation to complete the interior. The OSB board got used on an extention to store firewood and materials and the insulation is still waiting to be installed. Oh well maybe next summer. Well you can't make molds without a molding bench, Ha Ha well you can but its a pain. Not alot of finess here its made from constuction grade lumber but its very heavy and very sturdy. The bin will hold over 200 lbs of molding sand and the shelf can store 7, 5 gallon pails for another 300+ lbs. The roll bars slide out for access to the whole bin. 2 coats of Tremclad enamel and its ready for use. Cheers CB |
