I completely understand, You have to need it for it to be worth the extra effort
When I get around to building mine the intention is to build it into the one unit, with my back, lifting furnaces, flasks, blowers and fuel is a no-go, so it will be a unit, a factory just like the steelworks foundry but in 2 square metres not 20,000 and all on wheels so if it's a good weather day I'll roll the whole thing out of storage, mould , heat, cast and demould all on the 2 square metres, all possible from a wheelchair. Because I never know when I'll be back in one, so for ease of fuelling I need to use propane and to get the heat to melt iron I'll need heat scavenging and that's about it.
I know it can be done and if it can't then it's a bad idea for me to get back into casting.

Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.
