Bravo! that's a neat setup sir!

Hi Tubal-cain ! a#1: I usually only run it for about an 1hr to 45 min. per pour event (running the gas @ 21-25 psi.); I can fit a 3 pound crucible in the furnace without having to set the thing (furace) on its butt. I'm no math wiz so i'd answer the barbie propane tank lasts me a long time. a#2: I've never really tried to cast Iron, though i have burned steel with it... does that count?

You can see my "Flying Turtle" Forge from design to meat-space. Also, some cast bronze artwork created from that green flower foam. How to Build a Forge/Foundry from an old Vacuum Cleaner I would be happy to hear everyones thoughts for improvement in design, etc... I am intrigued about going blowerless, perhaps in the future. Thanks!

Hi, I'm RR Anderson. Two years ago I lost my backyard when we moved into a little apartment so my blacksmithing equipment is mothballed (forge, grinders etc.). Someday though when the wife and I buy a house with a backyard I can get back into the hobby. In the meantime i've devoted myself to the web. Thanks!
