Well I got the furnace filled with fire brick and home made refractory (Im sure messy):biggrin: It has been drying for about a month and have started on the burner and will post pics for those that are interested. The furnace body is a old water pressure tank scrounged from the well driller.
I am building a Oliver-upwind propane burner from BackyardMetalcasting.com which looks like the simplest to build and operate with the least problems.
I should have taken more pics as I went but was not planning on posting this to the board, did not know if anyone would be interested :thinking:
Well my hand to hand combat trying to upload pics I give up:banghead: I managed to get one pic loaded and found thats all I could upload so I quit:banghead:

I think I got one uploaded:biggrin:
Well I got the burner up and runninghew: & like it was stated in the directions you need a flair to run it outside the furnace or flame blows itself out. I have added pics of progress and hopefuly I can get them uploaded:whistle:
How bout that it worked I may yet learn how to use this site
Well back to the furnace as I have to build a lift for the lid and test fire it:thumbzup:
Monday gota go to the Doctor Monday the get my preop meeting taken care of & find out when he whacks on me. Nothing serious but wont be able to lift more than 10 lbs after he gets done for at least 6 weeks:angry: so I will be putz in mode for 6 weeks:nono:
