    Love the dynamics between you both, John should really be a regular from now on, and oh great to see some Ranalah action as well, could we get an update from the king of wheeling Geoff Moss as a believe he has one of your prototypes going through its paces?, would love one personally but probably too heavy to sit in the front lounge and beyond my budget, I truly hope you succeed with these amazing rolling machines as from what I've seen available yours are in a different league in terms of quality and history for that matter, absolutely love this channel.

    You’ll want to line the furnace with some refectory cement (over the insulation)otherwise the ceramic wool will break down and release fibers I rot he air that are very hazardous to breathe. They don’t usually come lined because it would inevitably crack in shipping.

    • @NickandMildred

  • @danielporter8481
    @danielporter8481 Год назад +1

    Hi, excellent video. Note, as a bronze casting apprentice many years ago, beware to keep water away from the furnace and crucible as it can explode. Water is heavier than molten metal, it sinks, skins over, turns to steam and the whole pot explodes. Heat your tools dry before use. Keep some sand around to put a fire out with molten metal. Rebar C tongs to get the crucible out, and a ring with 2 opposite rebars welded, one bent 90 degrees to pour the metal, on a brick. Green sand is 1 part clay and 6 parts sand with just enough water to make a fist clump, not much. Be aware. Thank you, Dan Porter
