Aluminium Foundry

Step 7 Foundry Trolley

The foundry was ready for action at this stage but I found moving it quite a task with all that heavy refractory. So I welded handles from 5mm rebars I took from my first furnace broken lid. After that I made a small trolley for the furnace made out of scrap metal from a hand trolley with 2 good wheels that I found in a rubbish skip. To close the outlet hole I welded the metal I cut from the cylinder top to a hinge and part of a bathroom hook as a handle.
