the 'lid' in it's mold WIP ...means? P Title: Re: Blast furnace Post by: Richard Fridd on 30 December, 2013, 07:23:29 PM That work in progress is the lid being cast in a bowl. It is made from fire cement. The tube will be on the underside when the lid is in use and act as an exhaust. Heat will be provided by gas apparatus. Smelting will be the purpose of this equipment.

Are you going to line it with firebricks ? otherwise I think you'll probably melt the drum!

Will pull it out today if the cement has fully set. Another pic
