ornametalsmith Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 FWIW, here's a pic of a foundry furnace that I made from a beer keg. Big hit at blacksmithing events LOL I've threatened to add a "TAP" to it........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgtwister Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 bill what are using for fuel in your furnace is propane or oil? i like the idea of the keg you don't have to worry much about rusting out as to being stainless do you melt bronze in it or just aluminum ? any way it looks great i may steal the idea of the keg on my next one i build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornametalsmith Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thanks, Orgtwister..... I use propane. I do also melt bronze in it. I've got two other kegs that I've got plans to make furnaces to melt glass in...... FWIW, I use a forced air burner, but an atmospheric burner would work fine.
