Hi Lads This afternoon i thought it was about time i made a start on building a cupola furnace :dremel: , the build will use what i have at hand around the shop and the bits and bobs i have managed to scrounge up for the project ::),,,, so the build should come in under budget at 10 quid :lol: :lol: I am not working to any real plan ,just working it out as i go and to make best use of the materials at hand :med: So may as well work from the ground up starting with the stand and a bit of welding :zap: the furnace barrel on for size found a bit of plate just the right size to make the drop bottom from this was cut to size and a hinge made from bit out of the that may come in handy one day draw next a few bit of tube were welded to the bottom so a bar could be fed through them to keep the furnace bottom up in place when the furnace is in operation . At the end of the casting session , this bar will be pulled out and the content dumped on the floor. Rob |

Rob I was just sitting here wondering what Rob was up to in his shop now that the weather is getting a bit nicer. Suddenly this pops up and now I know. I can see by the way that this is starting out that it is going to be another excellent thread. :) :) My only concern is, do you really think that those welds will pass muster with Mr. Stevenson? :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll be enjoying the rest of this build as it comes. :coffee: Cheers :beer: Don |
