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.

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:
