New furnace build

you may want to think about making that lid a lift an swing affair, so you don't have all the heat that the lid will soak up looking you in the face when you open the lid

This sounds sensible to me, any ideas how I can convert what I have (links to similar?) as this already has a fair bit of time Blush and money thrown at it Slaphead

Looking good
What you planning on casting?

I started this project as I was going to make a shaper, but I now have one ( 3 phase, not yet working) but I do want to make some pulleys and would like to build some steam(air) engine parts and this looks a good way to do some of it Rotfl

Andy - Google will be your friend in terms of looking at other designs. In fact, there are probably lots of YouTube videos out there that will be of help. Please report back with what you find, as I haven't got to the lid design stage on mine yet!!!!

Hi Andy

You could just have a look at the rest of the casting section of this forum before you reach for google.

Bugger! I forgot about your furnace build Rob. Have a look Andy - the way to build your lid mechanism is just a click away!

Hi
This is mine in action
It is very similar to Robs just a bit smaller
The swing lid is the best way to go

Thanks all!
Looks as if I can see a way to build a lift mechanism now, just hope I don`t have to muck up my existing work. 6799
Guess I need leave those parts a while to dry out a bit before I start tinkering and then welding bits onto my existing brackets Chin
