Furnace page - updated 25th February 2010
I have always wanted to make my own castings ever since starting model engineering and its been on my 'to do' list since it started. However during a laid up period (I suffer a disability) I was searching through youtube and found a great series of 10 video's by myfordboy. If you would like to see how myford boy approached the subject (and who I am basing my furnace build on) then click on the link.
I will also cover any castings I do and fingers crossed, any future designs of my own!
Please wait for the slideshow to load...thanks
