Good work Steve , nice review. Can I just say that I love how kind and polite you are to the knockers in the comments section. Don't let them get you down. Great men-in-sheds content

[@SteveJordan]

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Best Regards Steve

[@davedunn4285]

Nice unit for a small shop mate

[@TedRoza]

G'day Steve. I've watched others using larger furnaces for cast iron, aluminium moulds etc. I am very impressed on this demo, using a 9kg gas bottle or whatever. Very compact and portable as you have shown. Excellent video, keep up the good work.

[@SteveJordan]

Hi Ted, Thank you for watching and for your encouraging feedback. I'm looking forward to trying this out and have just ordered some proper casting sand and other things needed. Regards Steve

[@ronaldcrowder404]

Absolutely awesome I hope to be able to afford one someday . I'm guessing I could make alot more parts by having one . Thanks for all the info and what you put into it !! Again AWESOME!!

[@Bob_Adkins]

Very nice Steve, much better than my little homemade one!

[@miguelcastaneda7257]

Have bought a few things from them was kinda at first judgemental...but actually happy with what items I bought..will check out this

[@steveflorey8663]

Well done Steve. I only wished I was retired so I could find the time to do all these lovely things.😀

[@nobbysworkshop]

That is an excellent bit of kit, and at a reasonable price. This is going to open up all sorts of possibilities in your workshop. I can see some great videos coming up. Good luck with it all Steve. Cheers Nobby

[@Smallathe]

Great start... Looking forward for more tests... Maybe casting rods of unique composition for the lathe?

[@SteveJordan]

Hi Yes, that was what I was thinking of. There are several others doing this on KZbin. It looks very interesting. I will probably have a go at making a mold to produce small lengths of bar sometime.

[@headstocktailstock]

Looks good value for the money Steve, don't know why it's called a smelting furnace as it's a melting furnace as smelting is producing metal from the ore, I built my 1st furnace 50 odd yrs ago with my late Dad, [& burnt a few out along the way] [no internet then ! I]did 100s of brass signs for a local wrought iron firm, brass not the easiest of metals to cast, bronze being easier, you will need a separate crucible if your going to cast alloy as well, although & built a propane furnace I still use coke & forced air as it's really quiet & we usually have a couple of tons in for the Rayburn cooker!! I can cast Iron with it. good luck with your casting. Graham.

[@SteveJordan]

Hi, Yes, it's all new to me. I think they have got the maximum temperatures wrong as well, according to other comments. I may not have the time to get into this kind of thing much as I have so many other projects. Also, it's hard to get hold of the scrap metal now and the local recycling centres are charging way too much. I may just use it as a forge instead. I much prefer lathe work anyway.

[@headstocktailstock]

@@SteveJordan Hi Steve, after 50 odd yrs of casting, people get to know you & bring you alloy & brass round if your a squirrel like me, i've built up quite a collection, as a footnote a lovely lady 2 doors down had all new doors fitted & gave me a stack of all her old brass door handles & other fittings so as a surprise I made a nice pattern for a house plaque & told her "I've brought some of your handles back I don't want them" her face was priceless when I presented her with the plaque, I'm a great believer in karma, you do a good turn for someone & it always comes back to you, keep up the videos & good luck with the furnace. Graham.

This looks great for home use. I melt aluminium (cans) in brick oven with coal which works,but isn't very practical. Also needs forced air source.

[@65cj55]

Amazing value, are you going to do some casting ? you likely have a lot of brass offcuts from your projects etc, i have always wanted to try lost foam casting..

[@SteveJordan]

Hi Yes I hope to do some casting soon. I have just ordered some proper casting sand etc. Regards Steve

[@leonclose7823]

Those alternative tongs you bought look ideal.

[@SteveJordan]

Yes, they are great. I reckon they could be homemade as well, when I look at them.

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

Thanks, very helpful.

[@MoaxLycan]

@SteveJordan what size propane bottle are you using and how long have you found it lasts before you have to refill?

[@raymonroe1983]

Just purchased one a week ago. haven't had time to fire it up yet.

[@adrianmorning.1555]

I got mine today and opened it - no refractory cement included 😢 and also way smaller than i realised

[@dioufmouna3539]

The same with me

[@darren990]

steve mate how log do you get out the propane gas tank twice as big as that FURNACE in size would you say my bottle like calgas size if you know what i mean how meany melts aluminum cans??

[@Yodiyst]

How long did it take to melt the shells?

The only reviews for this exact model on Amazon are all terrible. Every review for every model of these is overwhelmingly bad. How many times have you used yours so far?

[@SteveJordan]

I've only just got into it. It seemed to work great, but then I haven't seen what it's like over time. If it turns out to be poorly made or something, I would then say when I find out. I have done this in the past, where I bought something, and then it turns out to be rubbish. I will take a look at the reviews and see what people are saying. Regards Steve

[@JoSHBunnell_WyldStyl3]

@@SteveJordan thanks. I'm curious how it works out for you.

[@zumbazumba1]

HAHAHAh 2700F is 1482 C° which is enough to melt steel -on propane(people use diesel for that ,just propane cant reach that high unless you add pure oxygen from bottle) ? Good luck . . . Typical number inflation . . . Reality is be happy if you get close to 1200C°.

[@SteveJordan]

Well, it melted the brass easily so it does the job perfectly. So I'm really pleased with it.

[@nunyabidniz2868]

If you try melting steel in that graphite crucible you'll end up with cast iron and an eroded crucible when the iron in the steel eats up the carbon in the graphite. Still wanting a crucible I can use to remelt steel in w/ a hobby furnace, whether one like this or a mag induction one, I don't care...

[@SteveJordan]

I'm only using it for brass and alloy just to try it out.

[@Donald-dh7rw]

You Will Never Learn How ? And you'll Never Use It ? Just Like Everything Else You've Got ? All You'll Ever Do, Is RUBBISH 😅😅😅😅
