VTSTEAM I had a look at my old photo collection and found some photos of my 4" cupola running. I hope you like them.

Wow, 4", no kidding. That's fantastic.
What was the size of a charge? And how many charges did you accumulate in the well?
So you had probably about 3-4 inches of refractory like I do now.
Great stuff! :bow: :beer:

Hi there, Ironman,
The pictures of your baby cupola were very interesting.
This is a bit :offtopic: but they took me back to my mis-spent youth :beer:
Your blower, in the background of a couple of the photos, looks like an old Hoover 'Constellation' vacuum cleaner. Many years ago, one of my work colleagues threw a party at his house. In the morning, his wife came down into the living room where I and several of the other guests, somewhat the worse for wear, :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: , were still draped over the furniture.
Our hostess didn't say anything but made it apparent that she wasn't intending to serve breakfast and please would we all go home. She did this by getting out her vacuum cleaner, a Hoover 'Constellation', and starting to vacuum the room, including emptying the ashtrays. All went well until she applied the hose nozzle to one ashtray that happened to contain a still-smouldering cigarette butt.
The sound of the cleaner changed to a roar and I can still see in my mind's eye the Constellation issuing a pillar of flame from its underside, just like a space ship trying to take off!

That is pretty cool.
