Never, ever say what you're building in the video title. Trying to figure out what you're doing is half the fun. And if people complain about it, you can always mention it in the description, low enough that you would need to expand it to see it.

[@beaverworks1969]

A decent idea!

[@jebowlin3879]

Curious, would this get hot enough to harden steels to prepare for tempering?

[@davidk8699]

how much energy does it draw to melt that much aluminium?

I had a wheel come apart once. It felt like it exploded. Lots of chunks flew in every direction. I was glad of the guard and the face shield.

[@olsparkywisenheimer8239]

I only keep my guard handy in case OSHA happens to stop by the job site. Other than that i never use a guard..😁

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

Love that turntable in his workbench. The electric version is a good idea, dunno if it's fast or slow though. And it's a complicated way to boil water for tea this way.

[@ShamankingZuty]

I actually guessed right for what you were making! Great work!

[@TheSuburban15]

The insulation gave it away. It was either going to be a smelter or a heat treat oven, with the smelter being the easy one.

[@lutherhgrindstonemtn3456]

Wow, this was designed very well. I'll let the trolls go off about the electric heating element, but in reality this is better than most I've seen available for sale. Very well insulated and sealed. I don't know how TF he was able to cut that deep with the diy-router-turned-rotozip, but I'm ok with the magician not sharing his secrets.

[@meatsmell8639]

Drill center hole first, throughout the piece. Then router cut it by half on each side.

I thought the same thing. I usually see a propane torch or something in there. The coil was a cool idea. Probably a lot more stable and less dangerous than propane.

You can buy fire grout. It comes in a bag, like cement. It's kinda expensive but you mix it with sand or something. I forget. I bought a bag of it years ago but never used it. Its a big bag and cost about $70..(?). ..anyway, I found a bunch of fire bricks for free on craigslist so I put the bag of grout in my basement, where the water heater is also located. One of the supply lines burst one day and that was the end of my fire grout. Lol
