I have to applaud your resourcefulness. Good re-use of items! |

The internal dimensions are 9 1/2" dia x 21" high. I tried moving it today, I was concerned that the handle might not be strong enough but it seems it will be ok if I am careful. Now I've got to buy steel tube for the crucible and get it welded. Surely there is somebody who would like the ceramic fibre blanket that I have left over. I have approx. 60 strips 24 x 3 x 1" ? It's yours for the cost of the postage or collect if you are near Skegness |

Norman, Thanks for your kind offer. It is about time I started on my furnace, so I will take half of it off your hands. No point in me taking it all if I can't use it. I'm over in Keighley so I can have a run out to the coast and collect. It will be next weekend though. This weekend is used up. PM me with your address and a suitable time. Dave. |

I sometimes wonder if I could make a boring tool with a carbide insert, an external frame of some sort to guide it and enlarge the bore a little using a half inch electric drill. |

I'm sure that it would be possible to bore it out, but not on mine as I don't have solid fire cement between the bricks. All of the ceramic blanket has been claimed. |
