Looks great Rob! :clap: :clap: |

This is damn neat.. if you would need to extend it, could you just pop another section onto the top there or what? =) When this comes into play, can we look forward to a operations video? =) |

Looking good Rob - what is the purpose of the lip on the front of the shoot? Also, does the refractory run the full length of the cupola? |

I will take a few photos not into doing video :palm: Marching on , I dugout from the loft at the weekend the only usable motor I have for this job , a Brooks 2.2Kw /3hp, 2800 rpm ,240v single phase , its a bit crusty but should do nicely . So I made a start on the blower , machined up the rotor discs , going for a 10" fan . I better get moving as Steve,s furnace is growing legs :) Rob |
