I've been wanting to get into metal casting for a while. DavidF on the forum has done a nice job of writing up his lots PLA process, the King of Random has videos on lost foam, and now there's even a 3D Printable investment wax filament on the market...
Time to pick a furnace. I've seen a lot of charcoal and LP designs. Thought about induction too. This one uses the heating coil from an electric stove... Genius! www.instructables.com/id/Electric-Furnace/?ALLSTEPS
Anybody else interested in trying out this kind of a project with me? Group purchase on refractory bricks/cement?

Jim, I'm interested. I think I might prefer a propane torch build as I don't have convenient 220 anywhere near where I'd want to run the setup. Brian B might also be interested.
