  1. Steve Sells, I will follow instructions, but I want to know what they are and maybe ask questions about them Latticino thanks for the tips Frosty .... I just dont agree that the rest of the world doesnt have a problem (and no im not gonna run out mowing people down in a fit human hating deludedness). Thats why many things change and change back and evolve and unevolve etc and such like. Being really anti scarcasm is a fault, scarcasm isnt really that a bad characterisric tbh imo, no mater how unpopular. And thank you for the caring perspective. Very considerate and conciensious of you, Thank You. Thomas Powers, yes am reading and you tubing diy electric furnaces, some really useful pointers tips. No don't know the resistance yet, havent bought the heating element, but if its resistance wire was gonna use a electric meter to calculate whats required. Yep interesting about the electrics info. Sounds like your shop draws some power. I think the heating element i use is likely to be about 2kw max. Buzzkill, yep a bit of truth in what you say. Although i do and am semi learning and listening and semi working out. Frazer, nope not a troll looking to reck forums. And yep sometimes my spellings bad, lol. JHCC yes agree with that, I think. But everyones safety issues are quite right .... its all well and good and fun messing around with these things until something goes wrong. So i do need to listen a bit tbh.
  2. Glenn, yep comprehend that just refer to the person or comment. Ted .... 2 cents brill. Yeh Great advise. Thanks. Yep thought of most of that and youve just inspired a test of the resister wire with a voltmeter to determine mains compatibility. And youve all just motivated calculating the work first - BRILL THANKS ACE
  3. hi i'll read the roles and get back on line another time thanks laters take care stay safe oliver
  4. Ok, glad you see the light. Yep issues ... definitely issuish. Nope not mistakingly thinking that people are giving me issues .... i comprehend the safety perspective. Just not mega into getting electricuted or tared and feathered and hung over it .... death the right way is still pretty unappealing tbh. errr if you think my smart answers are wrong, im sorry, i couldnt really give a xxxx, i think a lot about popular safety and evolution is wrong. I'm not trying to change you, and im mostly happy with who i am and who yourselves are, and are modifying working on the other bits of me at the moment that arent quite right. Its not my fault popular society has particular bias to what personality traits are acceptable and should be popular and or appeased, scarcasm being one. If your value is not to like it, or if you have an irrational bias against it ..... I'm sorry thats your popar obcessive style deludednesses. I see alot of quotes have been removed .... emotional "harmony" as the priority ..... errr yeh ok. Too much disk space? Or enlightenments now in the same category as scarcasm ? I look at LOADS of websites .... and forms .... they all have terms, rules, ways etc etc .... many i dont agree with ..... and i would never get to post a thing if i was to have to reference the rules each time i post. WHAT IS NOT STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT; WIRE RESISTOR PLUG Yep Im trying to learn very kind thank you IVE TRIED REPLYING TO THESE COMMENTS AND NOW I CANT REPLY WITH OUT THE QUOTE BEING INCLUDED xxx LOL IT DID IT AUTOMATICALLY AND WONT REMOVE <<<< TRUTH IM NOT DOING IT ON PURPOSE
  5. I've just had loads of my posts taken down / edited by mod42 with an email about mod warning. With this comment; ... I just edited every one of your posts, of excessive quotes, If you had followed instructions when you joined, and read the Read This First post, you not only would have known to trim your quotes, but would have read the pinned threads like the one where it tells how bad of an idea Plaster of Paris and sand mix is .... Excessive quotes allows those reading to comprehend the logic of what comments refer to what. To see who is actually clever and coming out with stuff that's right .... not just believing those most influential. No one else has trimmed their quotes? Yeh I'll read that in a mo. errr are you lot serious .... this is what you call a helpful forum on practacalities lol If you have a masters as an electrician ... surely its an easy answer? I did want to know about it .... its just easier to ask and get told isnt it ?!?!
  6. Yeh thats pretty much what im doing tbh. Although electrical forge ... dont wanna XXXX around with gas. Well if you get contacted when youre going off the rails, I'd have messages coming in every half minute lol (severe mental health problems - on meds, great therapy, got a mental health team, never done anything mega wrong physically, anyway). Scarcasms well useful, really good at putting a perspective across, and or clearing the way. Well thats very kind, really is, very caring, thank you .... yep not wanting to necessarily join the Darwin awards particularly either tbh. Better things to do ... definitely better. Yep advice noted. Sooooooooo back to the plug. The way Ive got it worked out, the heating element might add enough resistance to not fuse the plug / electrics?!?! Or if it does, just adding a simple resister of the right resistance (yes calculated) should suffice in allowing the heating element to go very hot with out causing danger or damage to living areas. I'm not going to be doing this in my house or front living room, lol. Back garden, when not raining.
  7. Frosty, nope, thats your assumption projection, that I'm saying I don't want to read or experience others knowledge, probably very impressive. What I saying, is I don't want to do a degree, to melt a few aluminium cans. Nope, not really leading anyone or blind leading blind. Thats why I'm asking questions strangely. Do you recommend sand and plain cement as a fire retardent lining? Nope not saying your attacking me. Or looking to burn down houses, or people, been there with being burnt, or harm really at all. And nope not into the screaming in pain. Nope .... not a know it all ..... that's why I'm asking the question for advice. Nope not particularly being irresponsible. I havent proposed any thing to anyone ... ive asked for others to propose about wiring. What is dangerous about what im saying .... cause it will envourage others to make a forge that wont might not get it right? I sort of see the problem. Errr Im proposing I MAKE A FORGE ..... not others. Surely this has been projected on this website Quite A Few Times. Yep .... it's certainly turning out easier to DIY it than get advise lol YEP NO FAIR ENOUGH tbh, no joke ... Very Good And Quite Right Perspective And One That Should Be Projected. Thank You For Your Amazing Care <3 Gosh for a moment I thought I was getting enough heat on the forums to melt the cans tbh lol
  8. Yeh, that's the thing with the internet, .... it's pretty public, especially many forums. Now who's showing erm, we'll call it nievity. One, many, can be sued for speaking, locked up for all all sorts, killed harmed in many ways for many reasons, yet being honestly rewarded for achievements (the sort of purpose of this thread) can be infinitely more difficult. You wanna agree with the world as it is, cause at "worst", deaths the outcome, no probs, that's you're choice. Personally I think it needs a lot of improving. Give some beer and car keys to a child well yep theres not much experience, however give a weapon to an adult (quite a popular occurance on the planet - army, police, criminals, no i dont have weapons apart from kitchen cutlery which i reserve for food) and not only do many use them but some actually donnate their life to it. No thanks to the Russian roulette or avoiding doing things cause of the risk. Nope I think I'm gonna attempt this task. If you think me using plaster of paris and sand implies no sense of prior knowledge, ability, investigation, and intelligence ... I'd say 3 if not 4 of those show your ignorant wrong assumptions tbh, no offense meant. lol, does anyone know or have an opinion to fixing a plug onto the heating element, lol? I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING I TRY OR GET SOME ONE ELSE TO ON THIS TOPIC. Maybe I'm better off working it out lol hahaha
  9. Very Safe A Good Answer Steve, But Thats Not Really Progress. We All Learn Somewhere, and often seemingly nieve questions can mask impressive intelect and ability, and not seemingly be as obvious as all that, but just filling gaps and assuring and drawing on knowledge. EveryOne "starts" some where Buzzkill, Thanks for the advice, and but will probably work it out. Just thought I'd run it by everyone. Yes have done a bit of reading. Erm, i was gonna get an old barbeque, mould a plaster of paris and sand mix around, and possibly create a sealing insulated lid, wrap the previous ebay heating element to it, around the steel nails (its not gonna get above 1400c) and have a hook system for a 3 kg ish crucibal to suspend in. The only thing I wasnt sure about is whether the plug directly on the heating element will fuse, trip the house electrics. Or whether a resister is needed ?!?! Thanks Thomas, lol, no I dont want an early crematorium lol haha ha Plaster of Paris and Sand
  10. Hi All, First Post; How are you all? Hope you're staying safe and well from the virus and other things? Just registered this evening. P r e t t y Thorough Forum. Just The Place. Starting to play with recycleable materials (in between running a shop and mental health stuff and learning gardening), Aluminium, plastic, maybe other stuff. Looking to POSSIBLY, lol, make an electric furnace to melt Aluminium, Copper, maybe Brass. For small things, keyrings stuff, trumpet buttons, Christmas presents, .... just as a hobby really, not really to make money. I can get a long, stretchable, heating coil wire from ebay for the heating element for about £10 delivered. Does anyone know if I just attach a normal mains plug (UK) to it and plug it in and it will work / heat? or do I need to add electronics a resistor maybe (and maybe an on off switch lol). Remove eBay link per TOS Great To Meet You All Olly, Oliver *Sorry, if it led to money making stuff, nothing wrong with that, G r e a t, but just as a hobby really
  11. You've run a liquid petroleum furnace that got to the temperature of 1400 degrees celcius in a minute?
