Voici la fondrie avec le creuset
en stainless-steel.
Here is the foundry with the
stainless-steel crucible.
Voici le brûleur a coté du tube
pour indiquer la profondeur et le
fait que celui-ci ne nécessite pas de bec. A gauche la needle-valve.
Here's the burner held aside the
tube to show the depth it goes and
the fact that there is no flare as it's not needed. Left is the
needle-valve.
Voici mes creusets en
stainless-steel. Ceux-ci sont très pratiques et peux couteux.
Tous proviennent du magasin a 1 $ et les petites
coupes sont utilisées avec ma fonderie portative.
Here are my stainless-steel
crucibles. These are pretty usefull and inexpensive.
All come from the dollar store and the small cups are used
in my portative foundry.
An upgrade has been done on the
furnace. I now have a lid and it seems to hold up.
The body is a plate for partys servings... A 1/4inch screen and screws
all around hold it together.
Refractory is made from the perlite / refractory cement in a bucket
rated at 2500F.
My furnace hold up pretty well using the 2300F stuff coated with 3000F
cement.
Here is a nice melting setup. The Furnace is in the botom of a water
weater filled with sand.
It is put on a patio cement block which rest on a cement block. It is a
bit high but all is clean.
This makes it more comfortable to work with. I usually work on the
other side.
That thing above the furnace will
become the chimney when I bring the furnace inside.
It's an old projector made in germany. All steel with some kind of
enamel on it. Tough stuff.
