Very very informative just remember when you're using it they are things out there that will be adaptable to the directions in this book and make the product even better

This book goes into everything needed to make a gas fired Furnice. I have yet to build my foundry but the general concepts used in this book will make it much easier to design my own system. Has some great diagrams, but is very general in putting it together. If you are looking for a general idea and guide book this is the one for you. However, If you are looking for a easy, cheap way to make a furnace you should probably look somewhere else.

Dated, yet still relevant. Good read.

With this book as a guide, you'll be able to cast metal in no time. Casting metal will allow toy to create your own machines. Older book, but still relevant. Very good instruction. A must read for the home machinist.

I've been smelting for almost four years now, and this book took it to a different level. Glad I picked it up.

Now I just have to find a permanant home for my foundry…. and a fresh crucible

Good but better safety information is needed

As always Gingery books are well designed with clear drawings and dimensions. With these instructions you will be able to build a crucible furnace capable of melting most available amateur metals. The cautions for handling crucibles could be a little more emphatic. More complete ancillary equipment descriptions would be desirable.

gives the beginner and expert a lot of information on making a furnace that can be made by anyone with minimal amount of tools, does not require a machine shop to make, gives reasons why you need to follow the directions, lots of safety information spelled out, easy to follow
