Over the last few months I've been trialling an electric furnace ($390 off eBay) it was rather cheap and failed almost immediately (was garbage/scrap) But it gave me an idea from something i saw on YouTube, a British guy built an electric furnace that could melt aluminium, but i wanted to go that 5 steps further and be able to melt silver, copper, tin, aluminium and brass as well as their alloys.
I've copied a lot of TAOW's furnace design and have also made improvements from some of his mistakes with the level of danger from electrocution, alumina silicate brick (being deadly from silica) and also the brick exploding problem from the brick being too big/heat retention/absorption, I also used the broken furnaces power unit and frame.
This furnace is what I will use to create most of my metal forged pieces as it can go as high as 1500 degrees Celsius.
As soon as this is finished, I can begin my first project which is Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir
Here it is so far!!
