As Advertised

I told you I would make you look at pictures...

I welded this up last night... It took me about 1 1/2 hours to cut everything and weld it. I will probably put a coat of paint on it when I am done to make it look snazzy, however this is just stage one.

Oddly enough, this thing is almost perfectly square and level... looks like I am better with metal than wood.

Please disregard the white and black cow behind the frame...

Here is the base with the fire brick installed. The brick will shield the ground, and my frame, from the heat of the furnace. It will also be the substance the plinth (platform the crucible, or melting pot) will stand on.

More or less, this is where we are headed. I just put the keg (I tried to take a picture of the Schlitz engraving, but it didn't come out) up there to give you an idea of what I am shooting for. Hopefully, I won't have to wait too long to give you an update.
