Homemade crucible furnace

In this photo, the furnace cover was removed at dusk, showing the crucible contents of molten silver with interesting convection currents on the surface.

That is just so beautiful! Like staring down a volcano.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks neat. Would you mind sharing details of how you constructed it? I would like to seem more pictures too! Thanks,

Hello auful. The design is based on a propane-powered furnace that was shown on backyardcasting.com a few years ago. That file is no longer there perhaps because of copyright but if you want the original pdf please send me a private message.
