Mini Willys CJ2A Part 3: Un-Building the Model for Sheet Metal Fabrication

$How to Make a Fire Brick Metal Foundry Furnace, Part 1: Cutting the Bricks Today Im building a better foundry. I use insulating fire bricks, some paper, a simple saw and a block of wood to shape it all. Next time Ill build an enclosure (as opposed to shelling out lots of money for a keg. Im not made of money) out of sheet steel and apply mortar and a coating, made from satanite. Then its time to start melting metal! This is intended for use with a burner, such as propane or oil. This will NOT work well with charcoal. Part 2 is found here: https://youtu.be/W5PoXfDWazA Want to learn sand casting using your 3D printer? I can teach you!: https://paulsmakeracademy.mykajabi.com/joinus This foundry furnace will be used for casting aluminum, brass, bronze, copper and other alloys. Probably not cast iron, though. I got the bricks here: https://www.armilcfs.com. They have kaowool too and some other stuff. This replaces my old furnace which I build in the video how to build a better mini metal foundry, published months ago. That furnace, based on grant Thomsons mini metal foundry, used castable refractory cement instead of plaster and sand. It is still holding up, but insulating fire brick insulates better. The old furnace build is here (dont watch it, this new one is better) https://youtu.be/VSsPHwWB_pI Mailing Address: 1818 Milton Ave STE 100 #1973 Janesville, WI 53545-9998 We have a community Discord server.
