Any more info on the homemade induction furnace? 

[Could you embed your Youtube links in your posts rather than putting in a link to them? ]

I did not build the induction furnace so I do not have any infomation on it. If you take the cover of a computor power supply it works in the same way as the  induction furnace works, they can be very complex. I had a go at embedding the videos but It did not work. I'm not very good with computors so I will stick with what I know that works

Don't worry about embedding........ Do yer best, until you get it!  :med:

One of the Mods will tidy up, if necessary.  :thumbup:

What is the cost of using an induction furnace like this to melt iron or steel? I would like to be able to cast my own parts and this seems the way to go.

What was he casting in the 2nd vid - some kind of ornamental seat?

Would guess it was a tractor seat.
