Furnace Build

[RobWilson]

and the rod adjusted by filing a bit off so that when the lid is close it sits on the furnace and not on the cam , causing a gap between the lid and body


Job done ,,,,,nearly ,,,, I was going to use the furnace outside , but gave up due to the UK weather and decided i must be able to run the furnace indoors .

So i cut an exhaust into the back of the furnace and added some insulation .

Cut a hole in the shop wall for the exhaust .



Just a note i am re using the fan burner unit i built for the smaller furnace

And a chimney



The melted guttering was from previous tests

Now whatever the weather i can cast , with the insulation on the furnace and with the venturi action of the 4" furnace exhaust going into an 8" pipe the shop stays cool .


Cheers Rob
