That would be great Rob,

When I was still looking at mills and lathes I stopped by a guys house to see his mill and he showed me a couple of rods for a Honda 650 he cast and machined using aluminum he smelted down in his barbecue. That's it I'm hooked, gota have a furnace now!! Big Grin

Jerry, if you haven't already seen it you should watch the movie "Worlds Fastest Indian". You'll like it.

Rob, you have some mad skills there! I would like to see some more of your furnace builds as well. I wish I had a place to do that kind of thing. My only experience was back in high school metal shop when we cast some aluminum bits, but it was a fun time doing it! :)

Great build Rob. I'd love to see the others you have built, as this is a road I will be travelling! Are you firing them with gas?
