@jsbarretto I have some massively thick clay soil in my yard, I do quite a bit of amending. This has me curious what I could accomplish with mine. I will be interested where you go with this, if you continue to experiment.

 The clay we used for the furnace lining was dug out of the ground, by a couple of us at night. :D https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Project:GingeryFurnace  @BillySmith @anniegreens Impressive! Not sure I'm going to be liquidising any metals soon with this setup, but it's awesome that you were able to create this from earth alone. We made an aluminium smelter from a broken vacuum cleaner and a bucket with a hole in it. :D We were following the base instructions from Book 1 of the Gingery series. https://gingerybookstore.com/MetalWorkingShopFromScrapSeries.html When it came to making the casting forms, instead of making them from wood, we were 3d-printing them. :D A chewy combination of ancient and modern techniques. :D Have you come across the Primitive Technology channel? https://www.youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550 He has some examples of pottery-making and tile-making, using clay-firing. :D One of the first things he made was a clay-firing furnace. :D |
@anniegreens I'm definitely going to! I'll make sure to post future experiments.
