DIY Electric Heat Treat Oven/Kiln/Furnace Part 1: Cutting the Bricks, Element Groove Layout
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ม.ค. 2020
- Today the construction begins! No two ways about it, I need lots of grooves for heating elements, and I don't have any. Get the sharpie and the saw, time to cut some bricks.
Bricks are from www.armilcfs.com (not a sponsor)
Elements are for a Skutt 818 electric kiln
Saw is just a cheapo crosscut saw.
Sharpie is a sharpie. Obviously.

Next part! th-cam.com/video/bFuVeAwlulE/w-d-xo.html
I've watched them all and this series is the best one on TH-cam for building an electric oven. Thank you, it's helped me a lot.
Thank GOD you’re making these videos
Looks like you’re off to a great start. The grooves are looking good. Just a little duck tape, stick the wire in the wall and letter rip! 🤪
Wire straight into the wall, You say? Dont I need some life insurance first haha
That is because The Groove is in the Heart. . .
Good effort if you want a tip then don't eat yellow snow:)
Seriously though use fire bricks way WAY lighter and way Way easier to carve out grooves for wire. All in all great. Little vid.
Cool build!!!!
Thanks!
Nice Build, I'm working on a new furnace right now, going very slowly, but progress is being made.
That's the important part. Slow progress accumulates over time, before you know it the project is done
that saw marking technique with the tape is used a lot in luthiery for cutting fret slots and such things.
That must be where I saw that! I have a couple violin making books I got like 15 years ago, must be in there. No frets on a violin but they cut grooves for purfling. I thought it was a knife not a saw in that case? I could be wrong. I havent opened those in years. Good times.
Glad you had overqualified help. LOL So far so good.
When you are in creative mode, your brain knows more than your mouth can explain :). I am not yet brave enough to make an electric furnace so good on ya! Veg oil guy has a good set up - I think you might consider doing something with him :)
Nice! I expected you might be up to something with the winter then pandemic. I have a small tool makers vice that I started building when I worked in a tool room in high school. It's milled out but needs to be heat treated and precision ground. I made it out of h13 tool steel. Pretty awesome material tbh, would probably pay a lot for the billet I got for free! We should make a video heat treating it next time I'm in the area.
Groovy.
Instead of a zigzag, just do angled straight slots.
cant help but think a router would make this much easier
And much dustier, yes. This powder is super bad to breathe
@@PaulsGarage ya, I would definitely wear a respirator and have a buddy hold a shop vac or rig up a shop vac to catch the dust, but think the time saved would more then make up for it. That said I like that you show how to do it with common tools most people already have. big fan.
you ever do drywall with a Roto Zip? When your done you look as white as the Pillsbury Dough Boy and its EVERYWHERE
Seems like a router would've made quick work of those element grooves. Cool video! *edit* Whoops! My bad! Commented before you mentioned all the brick dust in the garage. Okay... Ummm, so carry on!
Looking at the pathways you needed to cut, I wonder if a *CNC Router* with a fume extractor attached near the spinning part would help with this, just thinking to myself. Personally, I think the way you did it is better, because of the simplicity, lack of noise and dust, and it’s technically free because you’re using tools you already have. Anyways, this video, like all of your others, is awesome, keep it up! :D
So a reciprocating saw tool would do you wonders!
I know it’s too late but I have 4 words for this: SHOP VAC AND DREMEL.
Is there some way to compare temperatures and energy cost between Propane/LPG for firing and electricity? I need to be able to melt bronze/copper, and it seems electricity costs would be very high.
should of used a dovetail router bit for the grooves , silly boy
same bit to secure the bricks to each other
That's what I was thinking too. The dust issue is a pretty big deal, though.
@@nolanwhite1971 shop vac and duct tape would cover that , lol
I was waiting for you to drop the saw on your phone
Why zig zags? Wouldn't it be easier to just make straight cuts but on an angle?
Dovetail joints. ;-)
Butt joints 👍
Hi, what is the maximum temperature you can fire?
not gonna watch the video now, just leaving a like and waiting for all the parts to binge watch them
I respect that. That's exactly how I watch seasons of shows I like.
If you are looking to displace the oxygen, why not just use an inert gas like nitrogen?
Why not run CO2 from a welding bottle into the kiln when you need reduction?
The idea is to burn up the oxygen, but also create an atmosphere that wants to pull oxygen atoms out of the materials in the oven. Mostly my goal here is for pottery production, a reduction atmosphere does cool stuff to clay and glazes. For heat treating I probably wont do that, especially with temps so low
Whats the brand of that respirator you use? I remember you mentioned it but I forgot the name.
Resp-o-rator 👍
@@PaulsGarage lmao !!!!!
How much total cost
When you gonna upload again?
Every Friday usually. Rarely but sometimes monday/tuesday but this week Friday (part 2 of this build)
that old archer trick for eye dominance. It amuses me when people try to do it by themselves, as I've seen people track to their right eye then near their face suddenly shift to their left eye.
I prefer a method where you hold your arm out with both eyes open,
put your thumb up to cover something in your field of vision and without moving your thumb close one eye at a time.
one eye should still be covering the object and the other eye the object/thumb will shift so you see the object.
Whichever eye was still covering the object is your dominant eye.
Still a flawed method as people tend to move their thumb to cover the object when they switch to their nondominant eye. I just find people tend to have more success in figuring out their eye dominance with that method.
That was the way I was taught for shooting. My friend turned out to be left eye dominance so had to buy left-handed guns boy was that expensive!
I demand jokes!
What is an optometrist favorite year?
2020
Ha!
How do you know the mark of a good dad joke?
It makes you feel "Dad" inside.
Bro Ironworkers don't even acknowledge the existence of a sixteenth
Sounds like my kind of precision!
@@PaulsGarage it's really kind of nice sometimes. Miscellaneous steel is +/- there eighths
While too late for your project, others thinking about building one of these should also check out AVMake's video where he shows how he made the element grooves with a small shaping tool - th-cam.com/video/hTOf59pa3sU/w-d-xo.html (around 2:00)
That’s a pain in the a$$
You're not wrong!
Would you mind put your not here
