Naked Lady VS Blast Furnace

Once I saw a lady with no clothes on, so my blast furnace in operation is not the coolest thing I have ever seen. However I have provided a couple of images for your  comparison and perusal, and I reckon you will have to admit the blast furnace is pretty danm cool. On the left is the blast furnace, and the lady with no clothes on is on the right. Just give the blast furnace a chance. Go on.

I fired up the furnace to fire the lining in order to finish it. It's called a blast furnace because you blow air in the bottom to force the fuel to burn feircly, and a jet of fire bursts from the top. Sparks fly two meters into the air. It took the thing twenty minutes to chew through a whole bag of heat beads, and when I looked in after that the interior looked like a depiction of hell. Red hot and glowing! Thus I was inspired to name my furnace as below:

The air blast was provided by a matress inflator attached to a length of thin walled tubing. The furnace will allow me to ment aluminium and zinc aluminium alloy, an in turn this will allow me to do green sand casting, which means that I can cast in metal of a similar strength to steel, anything I can make a pattern for. The benifits to an unplugger are pretty obvious, as we want to have the ability to bootstrap, or build ourselves up to an advanced level from nothing.

If you want to build a fire breathing devil, read David Gingery's "The Charcoal Foundry". Just be careful, "furnace" means "heat"! It aint called Lucifer for nothin'. Now get blasting and mind your eyebrows!
