"I thought part of the beauty of the babington design was that you didn't need to filter out impurities because they just drop off the atomiser and into the sump below. As long as the return doesn't...

G'day Mick C and Silent C,

Yeah, I had similar thoughts with the viscosity of oil etc.. I plan on using "old" oil from cars and trucks after running it through a filter. The ability to adjust the...

G'day All,
Here a couple of pics from a "burn" performed earlier tonight. Unfortunately the flame doesn't show up with the flash, but you'll get the idea. I'll take a couple more pics on the weekend...

G'day all,

I say the "first"...

Schtoo, the Moral Cast refactory I'm using has a type of wool in it as well as perlite, or at least I think it's perlite. Considering that the 25Kg bag of...

What a great deal...........enjoy !!.:2tsup:

Yeah, I like Vice Grips as well including the cheapo versions which are excellent to modify and not feel guilty as already mentioned.

I like the 11" 'C' type vice grips for welding. I reckon they...

G'day you blokes.

I've started construction of the furnace and have enclosed some pics. I have used basic plans from one of the casting books I have to hand.....although not right to hand as I...

G'day Mick C,
Thanks for the pics.:2tsup: Initially I thought that the 65mm inlet pipe would be overkill, but I see that you are using a 12 gallon drum for the furnace. I assumed that a 20-25 litre...

G'day All,

Thanks for your replies. I'll have a look at those websites for suitable designs. Discovered a couple of likely suspects on a Casting Web Ring. Will report back with some thoughts once...

G'day you blokes,
