Ok. I started a thread about making a heat treat furnace and had a few replies but nobody had said they had tried this one.http://www.britishblades.com/home/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=31
I'm forging ahead anyway and will share my progress if anyone is interested. I'm just a hobbyist knife maker and I don't pretend to be an expert on anything so follow at your own risk.
The frame work is done.
I see now the best way to build this is lay the brick out and build it around the brick.
I didn't follow the instructions or dimensions from the link.I didn't see any reason to have the half bricks on the sides. I figured I only lost .75 width of inside room of the furnace by not cutting the bricks like the designer did. I don't see why my way wont work but we will see.
Here is the frame.... its pretty basic.
