I can't tell the make and model from the video but I have taught myself mig welding by watching youtube vids and buying the cheapest mig I can find on ebay. I got hold of some scrap steel and just went at it. After a short time you realise the short comings of a super cheap machine and upgrade accordingly.
Τό'λεγα ρε παιδιά, ότι δεν πρέπει να είναι κάπου στο εξωτερικό βλέποντας το περιβάλον. Τέλειες κατασκευές και τέλειες παρουσιάσεις. Να είστε καλά και να φτιάχνετε πραγματάκια να βλέπουμε. Σας χαιρετώ Δημήτρης από Ελλάδα!
The fabrication skills and techniques on this build are impressive. Building up the platform inside with the insulation underneath so it isn't compressed is a sharp idea, as is using the lower temp fiberglass around the edges.
Bad ass bro. I just have to ask what camera you shooting with now that quality is awesome. Every time I watch one of your videos I just want to go weld something.
well done very nice build. what size crucible is that it looks like a 35A clay/graphite but im not sure, i want to switch from using a fire extinguisher in my crucible. also if anyone decides to build this i would recommend just using an old oil drum it will save you alot of time thats what mine is made of.
Very impressive furnace - I just pour the refractory cement on mine tonight - funny timing - I used ceramic blanket as well but I was told you need to protect it otherwise it will deteriorate quickly - see the burning on the feeding tube when you place 2 or 3 pcs of aluminum. Anyway great build as usual - great editing and music choice, a joy to watch !
Awesome work, brethren! I recently made a smaller one with a 15 gal oil drum, but I used perlite/plaster refractory mixture, and it's taking forever to dry the moisture out, so no thorough testing yet...
Like your work, but want to make 2 safety suggestions. First, wear much safer clothing, shoes, face protection, etc., the aluminum (guessing?) is melting at about 1200 degrees F. Second, melt on sand base, not cement. If there is a spill any moisture in the cement will be drawn out and sort of explode throwing hot stuff everywhere. I want you to be around to be able to continue making great videos!
Hello, very nice furnance. PS: If you add to your melted aluminium kitchen salt (in aluminium pipe or foil) and push it to bottom, and put the small wax candle on the surface , you will have much better results. No bubbles in castings.
I'm going to buy a welding machine because of your videos. I want to learn to weld, at least the basics, and the videos are great inspiration for that.
Andrew Wallace it's easy to melt rock once or twice. But it's hard to build a reliable steel melting furnace for hobbyists that wont cost hundreds upon hundreds of dollars.
yesteeday i'v been thinking of making one but i didn't found any good tutorials.. many thanks to you! i'm going to find everything that i will need and make one. Many thanks!
Probably because the commercial bender they are using employs dies and rollers to help keep the tube from bending out of plane, whereas their DIY bender did not.
Hey mate, enjoyed the video as always...was hoping based on the title that you were building one to melt metal, not just aluminium...looking forward to the upgrade. If I can offer a tip, if you are going to be casting aluminium try to stick with melting previously cast aluminium rather than extruded pieces, you will get a better quality casting.
Very few actually try melting steel. As it is "too dangerous" 🙄 it's kinda annoying, people melted steel a long time ago why not with updated furnaces? Completely again with you
This has got to be one of the biggest furnaces I have ever had the pleasure to watch being made. Thank you very much for making this and showing us this video.! All the very best wishes for you and your family for the future.....Phil
+Tim Henderson I'm pretty sure Rockwool is only rated to around 800C... So either it will slowly disintegrate, or they found something else that looks like it. Not sure which...
The world needs you...basics,,,liberty for all. Build awesome small wood stoves. High temp efficient burn. They have many some nice ones overseas but not in USA.
That welder wearing a singlet must have woken up burnt and sore as fuck, Cool vid, would have liked to see you cast something cool from the molten though
Awesome!! I've watched a lot of furnace builds, and this one is at the top of the list. One suggestion tho, most have a hole in the bottom in case of crucible failure... or maybe I missed it. Anyway nice job!!
How about an option where you select which type of music you want it to play? That would be a better idea. I liked the music in this video but there are others where it is annoying.
They never speak so mute the sound and play your own music or just listen to the birds outside the window. :) I like the music, though hehe! Good for melting metal.
when you have skill sets and have a need for some item and you known how to and have the material on hand whither it be used for one time or used daily the ability to use is head to come up with a solution in another words he's independent thinker we need more people like this he's a go get it done guy keep up the good work by the way what country are you in?
I love your channel very much, george, I am fascinated by the tools that you create with your imagination and intelligence. I am a tornado and I am 20 years old and I would love to know how you got so much creativity? greetings from Argentina;)
Awsome =) Just a note, kaowool (the white insulation) is very cancerogenic and should be coated with something, for example ITC-100 (Also makes the max temp go higher of the furnace, due to radiant heat reflection) =)
I’m working on a similar sized project right now I’m using an old beer keg though I’ve just got the kaowool and satanite and I’ll be putting it together within the next day or so
i dont know if i would call this an EXTREME!! forge but its a pretty damn awesome one, better built and bigger than almost anything you can buy for under 2,000 dollars and it is just cool as hell, me and my friends made one out of a party balloon helium tank and a vacuum motor and we made some aluminum cupcake pan ingots and a big bar that didnt turn out the best but only cause back then it was just a hair dryer and not a big ass vacuum motor that is 10 times better, it works for us and its wood fired so its free, but these guys built an awesome one
You are obviously a very gifted welder/fabricator. Well done! If you spoke and explained anything I wouldn't know because after 3 minutes of the :headache music" I had to mute the video! Maybe consider either no music or music that doesn't distract from what you are doing. Honestly I couldn't concentrate on anything with the head-banging sound until I turned it off. Otherwise it's some of the best I've seen on TH-cam.
Subscribed for sure..! Makes my tiny foundry seem like a toy..lol. Anyway, I only do small metal castings, so it meets my needs. A tip...if you don't want to spend money on expensive casting sand, you can make your own. Use fine sand from the beach and let it pass a sieve for further purification. Then add vegetable oil to it so you can form the mold. Old engine oil does it too, but I prefer to think of the environment if possible. I wouldn't recommend welding in bare arms as you did...no matter how hot it is. Those UV rays are the killer...just saying. Now I'll head on to your other videos, I'm already curious.
Came out cool melting furnace!!! Now open for you a lot of new possibilities,continue in the same spirit man!!! I myself have metalworking workshop, so I understand how much work is behind your every video. Great video and a great channel man.
*Unsealed* ceramic wool like you've used is **extremely** carcinogenic when heated. It throws off tiny bits of fiber that will give you "black lung" effects. Seal the surface of your wool with a slip like ITC100. That will also greatly increase the efficiency of the furnace.
DAMN you're good! Very satisfying to watch. I'm researching different smelters for melting down large quantities of copper and came across your video. Granted, my home workshop is bigger than my living room but I don't have as many expensive tools like a plasma cutter. As always, I'll be using repurposed dumpster-diven parts I got laying around
Awesome video but,one thing I don’t understand about these foundry/furnace is how you hook the propane tanks up to them. Does it need to be airtight around the pipe where the propane tank enters?
If your welder, saws-all, plasma cutting torch, and metal bender all disappear one night from your shop, don't come looking for me. B-) Wish I could afford some of that stuff. It's quite clear you're a very talented machinist and welder. Your furnace is very well done, sir! What might it's maximum sustained (continuous) temperature be?
I didn't know there was insulation that could hold up to these temps. This looks easier to make and much lighter than all the ones using cast refractory cement.
Looks good but you need to coat that liner when you rebuild it . The heat resistance material you used is not made to have fire come in direct contact with it . And will become brittle and fall apart when you are in the middle of a melt. And that will be extreme. I use fire clay on mine and melt steel with it. its hard to find and not cheap but it's good refactoring liner. " If done right"
i am not sure but these unbound fibermats can be a serious health hazard size you run a constant hot airflow through, its blasts a lot of fibers in the air on you property. I would bind the mats winth some sort of beton/clay or similar fireproof stuff
If these videos have taught me anything, it's that I need to learn to weld.
and buy a proper welding machine :D
Any guess as to the make and model he uses?
Ashley Mills no idea. I don't even know where these guys are from :o
I can't tell the make and model from the video but I have taught myself mig welding by watching youtube vids and buying the cheapest mig I can find on ebay. I got hold of some scrap steel and just went at it. After a short time you realise the short comings of a super cheap machine and upgrade accordingly.
DO IT! just buy a cheap welder stick or mig and just have at it. It is not that hard (as long as you are not expecting pretty) and super fun

I don't know why but these type of videos makes ASMR effect on me. Great job. Thanks for sharing though.
The fabrication skills and techniques on this build are impressive. Building up the platform inside with the insulation underneath so it isn't compressed is a sharp idea, as is using the lower temp fiberglass around the edges.
Good way to shorten that process is to use a 55 gallon barrel.
also makes for a less interesting video... no ty
or 5 gal can as a starter. less work and more effective.
I've seen dozens of videos of how to make metal-melting furnaces, but you went professional, great job guys.
Bad ass bro. I just have to ask what camera you shooting with now that quality is awesome. Every time I watch one of your videos I just want to go weld something.
Thank you dude! :) Is Nikon D5500
Make it Extreme That's the one I have. What lens are you using. Are you using the kit lens?
Is AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm... But i change little the quality on my program. 30% more sharpness
o ok Thank you. Looks great man,
+Make it Extreme seriously that welding was amazing.
well done very nice build. what size crucible is that it looks like a 35A clay/graphite but im not sure, i want to switch from using a fire extinguisher in my crucible. also if anyone decides to build this i would recommend just using an old oil drum it will save you alot of time thats what mine is made of.
My dream is to have a warehouse were I can make my own projects .... Someday !!!!

Great work as always! It swallows metal like butter! Can't wait to watch a few extreme casting projects from you in future!
Thank you my friend! :)

keep waiting for the video with you guys building your spaceship
Same
😁😂😂
Which will never lift off because of insufficient efficiency)
I'm going to buy a welding machine because of your videos. I want to learn to weld, at least the basics, and the videos are great inspiration for that.
How about making it truly extreme and melt some steel.
haha yeah!!! Exactly my thoughts.
Giovanni Foulmouth grant Thompson melted rock
Andrew Wallace it's easy to melt rock once or twice. But it's hard to build a reliable steel melting furnace for hobbyists that wont cost hundreds upon hundreds of dollars.
Spulch well his used electricity so it was cheap
I have a coal powered furnace with a graphite crucible, it can reach upwards of 1900C.
yesteeday i'v been thinking of making one but i didn't found any good tutorials.. many thanks to you! i'm going to find everything that i will need and make one. Many thanks!
Thank you very much!
Why didn't you use the homemade pipe bender ??
Or the plasma-torch circle cutter machine.
1:49
Perhaps, maybe because they didn't exist when he made the video ?!
same question !!😞
it does because the furnace is the 40th and the metal bender is the 36th
Probably because the commercial bender they are using employs dies and rollers to help keep the tube from bending out of plane, whereas their DIY bender did not.
You really deserve millions of subscribers.
Thank you! :)
Dats hot! Must be oddly satisfying to drop a beam of metal in there and watch it vanish.

I Love Every Video you Have on TH-cam ! Awesome builds and even better Edits........
Thank you very much! :)
It’s funny how I’ve watched like 4 people build foundries now and the first 3 were very relaxing and then
You should make a popcorn cannon, it would be crazy.
hehe yeah! :)

Best vid on youtube for furnace build
Now you got a new subscriber, which is me
Thank you! :)
Dude SHOW YOUR FACE!!! YOU GOT SKILLS!!! perfect example of having ALL THE RIGHT TOOLS!!! this guy has EVERYTHING wow great video!!!!
you definitely deserve more subs
Thanks! :)
I really like what you did for insulation. Nice job.
hey, that's pretty extreme
+Brett Coryell The extreme thing about furnaces are furnaces are extreme things.
Thank you! :)
@@MakeitExtreme Good day! very cool stove, and please tell me in this stove you can melt prose. Thanks.
@@MakeitExtreme hello, can your oven melt iron?
This has got to be one of the biggest furnaces I have ever had the pleasure to watch being made. Thank you very much for making this and showing us this video.! All the very best wishes for you and your family for the future.....Phil
as always, I am impressed!
Glad you like it! Thanks! :)
+Make it Extreme I wish you would do a q and a we will her to know more about you please
You're a freaking artist. Beautiful.
Toilet of Satannnnnnnnnn!! hahaha this is awesome!!
Thermocouple and casting included!! Tootally cool
hahahaha Thank you my friend!
Cactus! workshop 木工用具
Now yes that you can rock the world!!! I can image how mutch spare metal part that you cut in the past can go inside this and take new life!!!
What were those insulating materials?
Probably stone wool.
+Tim Henderson I'm pretty sure Rockwool is only rated to around 800C... So either it will slowly disintegrate, or they found something else that looks like it. Not sure which...
the first layer looks like rockwool and the second layer is ceramic wool
kaowool maybe--some kind of darn wool
the white stuff was 8 PcF ceramic fiber blanket.
I was already guessing it was aluminum.
but it was excellent service. congratulations.
I just put you on my facebook bro your killing it my friend cool stuff awesome :)
some guy said it's ceramic fiber for high temperature insulation
Thanks dude! :)
No problem my friend cool videos i love it bro :)
Surprised , amazed , inspired , happy , jealous , feelings I get when I watch your builds
Thank you for the kind words man! :)
AWESOME!!!!
Thank you! :)

Wow.. This guy is a fucking badass!!!!
I hope this guy works in a fab shop somewhere and makes good money he deserves it
music was amazing!!
Yeap! :)
you are basically what i aspire to be, the dude that can build literally anything he wants in his backyard no sweat
I know music tastes differ, but I couldn't finish watching this video because of the music.
get familiar with the mute button then!
You should learn some tact if you want people to follow you.
How about an option where you select which type of music you want it to play? That would be a better idea.
I liked the music in this video but there are others where it is annoying.
They never speak so mute the sound and play your own music or just listen to the birds outside the window. :)
I like the music, though hehe! Good for melting metal.
Big props to the guy who needed to put in work, to put in work!

Best furnace build video ever! The work, the music, EVERYTHING! Subscribed!
I really like these videos, but it would be great if you had a parts list so we can do it too
making such a smooth Furnace ... nice work
I love your channel very much, george, I am fascinated by the tools that you create with your imagination and intelligence. I am a tornado and I am 20 years old and I would love to know how you got so much creativity? greetings from Argentina;)
Thanks I follow your videos fom Turkey.You are great and clever.
I believe you are the slayer of all metal. Respect.
That is just brilliant. From the last build of the Torch I was guessing it might be a furnace.
Thank you very much! :)
I've been trying to find someone to make one that can run on oxy-acetylen and will melt steel. I think you guys would be perfect for the job.
Thank you! :)
You could just burn wood or coal and pump pure oxygen into it. I think it would reach the 1535 C needed to melt iron.
Not sure how I even ended up here, But I did and loved it. New subscriber 😄. You have skills.
Fascinating again! Great project and video!
Thanks!
These guys are pros for damn sure
Awsome =)

you need your own metal shop to build this... but love the extremeness of it..
well designed guys, cracking job
You got the first thumbs up for the music, and the second one for the for work. Ty for sharing this vid guys!
You sir, got yourself a subscriber
I wish i had your workplace so bad :D. So much cool toys to play with. haha
hehe!! :)
i dont know if i would call this an EXTREME!! forge but its a pretty damn awesome one, better built and bigger than almost anything you can buy for under 2,000 dollars and it is just cool as hell, me and my friends made one out of a party balloon helium tank and a vacuum motor and we made some aluminum cupcake pan ingots and a big bar that didnt turn out the best but only cause back then it was just a hair dryer and not a big ass vacuum motor that is 10 times better, it works for us and its wood fired so its free, but these guys built an awesome one
We should have seen this coming. Great work!
Thank you! :)
Awesome! I wonder what you are going to do with the cast wheel.....
At first I thought it was an Iron/steel melting crucible but it is an aluminum furnace.
A MASSIVE one
that looks so badass... but how much does that weigh? holy moly it looks massive
Nice work. Good video production, but when it can melt steel, then I’m really interested.
Very well made...congrats...!!!
You raise the scale with every build...
Thank you!
Impressive, that's quite a furnace.

craftsmanship very impressive
Bending then cutting that tubing coil is just like making jump rings for jewelry...didn't think I'd see it in that scale!

I didn't know there was insulation that could hold up to these temps. This looks easier to make and much lighter than all the ones using cast refractory cement.
Look up ceramic blanket on Amazon
Always I love the heavy metal style of your projects!
Thank you!
Agreed! What music is it? Where did you find it? I want to listen to more! Keep up these amazing videos!
Looks good but you need to coat that liner when you rebuild it . The heat resistance material you used is not made to have fire come in direct contact with it . And will become brittle and fall apart when you are in the middle of a melt. And that will be extreme. I use fire clay on mine and melt steel with it. its hard to find and not cheap but it's good refactoring liner. " If done right"
This is amazing. I have no words.
Thank you! :)
Make it Extreme No problem!
Turned out really nice,
You guys are good fabricators
i am not sure but these unbound fibermats can be a serious health hazard size you run a constant hot airflow through, its blasts a lot of fibers in the air on you property.
I would bind the mats winth some sort of beton/clay or similar fireproof stuff
you guys got skills man
Thanks brother!
