Thanks!

I just bought a nelyrho furnace also a double burner on it
Do you find it hard to regulate heat with nothing covering those air intake openings at beginning of burners
Most furnaces have a single burner with a valve to let in more or less air
Great video thanks

I wanted to ask if copper/bronze blends well with the VEVOR 12 KG. .? it's a good forge.? Thank you

You really need to speak up! Generally a slow heat of the crucible for first use is a good idea. Also after long storage. You probably should put something down to prevent any spills from getting on the concrete floor. The moisture in the concrete will cause a blowout of the surface if any spills get on it. For anyone new to casting, get yourself some boot protectors and chaps. A face shield for unexpected splatters. Leather gloves. Preheat the scrap to drive off as much moisture as possible to prevent hydrogen defects in the casting.

It's already happened! Definitely learned from that ad flying concrete while your pouring isn't a fun time😂😂 and I never really noticed that it was hard to hear, I'll keep that in mind next time! Thanks
