#84 - Gas Burner & Coffee Can Furnace - Metal Melting

[@pgs8597]

I have the same burner, simple design. I looked up a lot of burners when I started and many were too complicated or expensive. It doesn't take much to get started. Cheers Peter

Hi Peter. Thanks for watching. Yes a nice and simple design. Cheers kevin

[@jonsworkshop]

Great insight Kevin, very simple but effective, chucks out an incredible amount of heat by the looks of it. Thanks for sharing the design. Cheers, Jon

[@Machine_NZ]

Hi Jon. Yes its surprisingly cheap to melt metal...cheers kevin

[@Rustinox]

I didn't know it was so easy to make. I should give it a go one day. Thanks foe the info.

[@Machine_NZ]

Burner: easy to make.
Learning to cast successfully: not easy to master...lol

[@howder1951]

Great demo , in just 7 minutes you showed how simple (and cheap) it is to make the burner. The coffee can design also looks very simple to the extent that I ash, why don't I have this? Enjoyed, cheers!

[@Machine_NZ]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching... Cheers kevin

Hi Aaron, thanks for watching mate. Cheers Kevin

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Good clear info Kevin 👍 Got to make me a setup like this sometime soon. I recently had to buy a short bit of 120mm round aluminium and it hurt the wallet!

[@Machine_NZ]

Metal prices have gone crazy here so melting metal into useable 'chunks' is very handy....cheers kevin

[@Xynudu]

Good video and burner design. Why is there a hole in the bottom of the coffee tin furnace ? Cheers Rob

[@Machine_NZ]

Hi Rob. If something goes wrong there's somewhere for the molten metal to go...cheers kevin
