The Furnace (Introduction)

This is a project I have been planning for a few years now, and recently a friend of mine said he was interested in melting the tin out of the raw ore he mines... the smelters charge a fortune!! His production rate does not justify the insane costs charged by professional smelters..

I on the other hand want one to be able to cast things from metal for my various projects, and Aluminium is easy to melt down, and easily obtainable as scrap from just about anywhere.

So this is my first foray into the world of casting, and foundry work. Hope you enjoy reading about my struggles as much as I enjoy the struggles themselves.
