Have you signed up for the metals class/labs at Sam? It was the best classes that I took. There is a foundry there. If you get in good with the prof., you should be able to use the facilities; just pay/bring your own material.

This my last semester at Sam. I like the challenge of trying to figure something new out, makes things a little more interesting.

Metallurgy will take a LONG time to figure out on your own... good luck :thumbs:

I finally had a chance to work on the furnace:

I ain't no professional concrete guy :oops:

I used about 130 pounds of regular concrete, this thing is going to suck ballz to move around. Next weekend I'm going to fire it up and hopefully it works!

looking good! One little hint if you ever make one of those again take an orbital sander without a disk and vibrate the outside it will vibrate the concrete and take all the air out. concrete that has air pockets in it will burst at extreme heat. :thumbs:
