I reckon a bigger heat treat oven could be made quite cheaply . There has been a fair few times over the years I could have done with a larger capacity oven , now my furnace is gone it looks like I may have to make one to .

Cheers Rob! I already have a plan of what I am going to do. More like a "tube" furnace I guess. Just like my small furnace but deeper so I can get longer items in there. (Approx 14 inches.)
I was going to make a digital controller for my lead furnaces and have the necessary electrical components, but will use that for the new "tempering" furnace instead. I just got a message from an ebay seller accepting my offer for some NOS heating elements.
I'll need to build an enclosure and get some insulating firebrick, but that is on hold now because I need to buy some new bearing$ for my mill instead.
