sparky961:
I have to applaud your resourcefulness.  Good re-use of items!

NormanV:
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

DavidA:
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.

That's a nice size. I wish mine was at least an inch larger bore.

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.

NormanV:
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.
