No new progress, but hope for a resumption in the new Year is rising!

January 19th, 2010 by Steve


Unfortunately no work has been done on the furnace or any other workshop items in the last few weeks, but hopefully after Christmas I will be able to resume work on all my projects. In the meantime  here are a few photo's of the work  already completed when making the crucible tools.

First priorities when resuming my workshop time will be completition of the furnace. I will need to make another top though because the first was not successful. That said, comparatively little remains to be done before it can be 'fired' up. Look out in the new year for some 'flaming' pictures.
