My Brass Melting Furnace made from the shell of a crock pot. Although I got a late start on getting footage when I first started the furnace the video shows the remainder of the build. What I didn't get footage of was brazing the bottom onto the crock pot steel shell so not much was missed. This furnace will easily melt cast iron if I use forced air. Watch the video for all the steps involved in bringing the project to completion. Please be sure and check out all my metal casting instructables I have posted. Thanks for Watching!
