@thequeenofspades Its a pipe with a nozzle and slots for the air inlet. I can send you a drawing if you give me your email address.

@TheElladan76 It would be fine. Mine is basicaly the same with the gas inlet comming from the back rather than the side.

Great videos! Looking into getting the components to make my own foundry. Looks like the KOS fire cement is shipped from the UK? Can you tell me what size container I'd need to order to make your furnace. Good Stuff! Thanks!

@Ronclayist I used 2 x 12.5KG tubs. You would not need to import the fire cement. Equivalent in US is Black Worcester Brush brand or Meeco. More details at myfordboy .blogspot. com

Fantastic videos.
I was wondering, is there anything special about your neck tube, or is it just a pipe with a thread at one end?

@thequeenofspades Steel is not realy a metal you would cast. My furnace is only good for aluminium or brass as the refactory cannot withstand the higher temeratures.
