Hi
I have a casting to do that will need more metal than my ceramic crucible will hold
A nice big steel melting pot
It will be 6 1/2 inch diamiter (that is the pipe i got given)
10 inches high (the bigest i can get in my furnace)
The material is 1/4 wall mild steel seam welded pipe

Cut to length and the end squared up

The end champherd ready for welding
I will be melting aluminium in this , not a great amount of heat but it will need a good weld as i dont want to get my feet wet
