Looks great Rob! :clap: :clap:
NeoTech:
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? =)
Mayhem:
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?

Hi Mayhem , the lip is there to give some support the end of the clay spout , Yes the refractory runs the full length , basically its a concrete pipe .

Hi Andreas , yes extensions can be added if needed :thumbup: I may make one 2ft extension . 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 :)
