  • Just wonder if you think a upwind burner would work well for this set up and what you think of the upwind burner in general also great job on you video seires thank you for all the great info

  • @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.

  • nice, but in vietnam, i like to used a beecave coal with the snail fan, cheap and powerful too, but you know it's very harm to your health t_t

  • @hello12345kk you will probebly need to use like stonecoal or koks to melt steel ^^ if u want to make knives and stuff you should try blacksmithing :)

  • @myfordboy what kind of temperatures can this furnace design handle? i am interested in making steel and small knives. i dont really know much about this subject though.

  • @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.
