Hello all.
I've been lurking here for a few months now as I've been gathering up materials to start working through Mr. Gingery's "Metal Shop from Scrap" series. I wanted to stop by and say "Thanks" for all the good information and inspiration I've found here thus far.

Also, I finally have progress to report: over the past weekend I finished the charcoal furnace. I built it pretty close to standard; the only "improvement" I made was to locate the tuyere in the bottom center of the furnace, rather than in the side. My limited research made me think that might work a little better, but who knows. The lining cured up fine with no cracks.

I've got to say that when I turned on the air blast for the first time and saw a 2' jet of flame shoot out the vent, I was pretty stoked.

Thanks again guys. I'm sure I'll have questions once I start molding and melting.

Best,
BLee
