Ah, well Rob, I've got the drop door to do, the lid to line, lid lift and swivel mechanism, pouring shank, ladle, pig molds to weld, as well as make up some iron sand. So false bravado, here! :lol: |

c'mon you two - less talking and more action (with pics - lots of pics)! |

Here we go :) After spending most of the weekend sorting out my workshops , had to take advantage of the good weather , I managed to drag the furnace into the fab shop , it was a bit of a fight , big spiders and the ivy had grown over it :palm: First job was to remove the centre form . before. After , then a bit work to the stand ,I noticed this had a fare bit of spring in the legs when I was dragging it into the shop and the corners of the box section were also digging into the flags . So some tubing was added to brace the legs , nice a stiff now . Some 4 inch bar was sliced up to make feet .I rounded the edge so they would slide easier. these were then welded to the bottom of the legs . still a bit work to do to the stand . I better move my arse as Steve has had fire in his furnace :D Rob |

Woohoo! That is one impressive cupola. :bow: :bow: :thumbup: Mine did come along a little faster. Just like a fire in a dustbin is faster to prepare for than constructing a convection oven for a pastry chef. Any time you want to trade, Rob, just let me know! |
