btw, Norman, the wheels and attached handle eventually became this: |

well you could always try something like this, it could slip in to the pin that is connected to the base so when the handle is lowered it suspends the furnace to be wheeled |

Further work on the lid, I made a band of steel to clamp around the lid that had lugs attached that gives a place to attach the lifting handle yet to be designed. I then plastered over the whole of the lid with refractory cement. I ran a small fire in it last night and noticed that the smoke escaped around the edges of the lid more than through the hole. This morning I applied a layer of cement, covered it in cling film and then pressed a flat board onto it which has given me a nice flat surface. I have done the same with the lid, this should give me a good seal. When it is dry I will try another fire and I hope to see no leakage. |

Looking good! Norman, what is the bore of your furnace? |
