  • Excellent video, thanks for posting it. Really clears up the basics for me, and shows that this stuff isn't too hard for anybody to try! Any fume problems with bronze? Why the water quench? Propane furnace, I assume?

  • Thanks for the compliments. We had a lot of fun doing the video. There are always fume problems especially if using recycled bronze as I do. That's why I did it in my big shop with the doors wide open and a fan blowing as well. Water quench was just so we could handle the product quickly and yes it is a propane jet furnace with fan forcing air to it. Quite simple. Kurt

  • very good video. very informative

  • Glad you enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun making the video and casting bronze has been a delight. Kurt

  • very well organized video. i looked everywhere for info and have watched this 3 times now. i finally built my furnace, but need info on the burner. yours looks simple. can you share the info on the burner details ? anyhow kewl looking pieces you made! sue

  • Hi Sue,

    Thanks for the compliments. It was a fun video to make and of course its all in the editing. As far the burner details, I would work with Woodenboat Magazine as they furnished me with the info at a course that I took there. I don't know if there are any restrictions on the desing but they can put you in touch with the instructor. Good luck and happy casting. Kurt
