Thank you for complemeting my English. I speak better face to face than on camera. My boss says, he could not get what say on some of the clips. We work side by side everyday for a bit more than 10 years ha ha ha... Thank you for the tip on preheat the crucible... I will keep your advice in my, turning up the gas a bit slowly. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate your supports. Best regards.

@@woodandmetalhobbies3606 I had always heard heating up the crucible too fast could cause it to crack which is enough to make some people quit smelting altogether. I make my own crucibles from clay I dig and fire them in a pit fire, for now, I may buy a graphite crucible sometime though. I've heard you can make crucibles from sodium silicate, fireplace cement, and a couple other ingredients if you ever want to try to make your own, might make a good video.

@@ZomBearfoot Thank you for your suggestion. I am not thinking about making my own crucible just yet... In the olden times, ancient people made "wootz steel", I think back then their crucibles were from clay? I'm in Australia, we would have to buy clay. Clay is not readily available from backyards as elsewhere. Best regards.

I have seen that. But I don't think I have skill to build one yet... This Russian gentleman uses mixed fuel to melt down iron. Please see the two videos below. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate that. Hell fuel for melting Iron. CharHell fuel for melting Iron. Charcoal, coal and coke.

@watahyahknow Thank you very much for watching and for your suggestions. It melted the plastic :) It did not occur to me to run the can over the furnace. If I use tin cans again, I will keep that in mind. I have made myself some moulds using mild steels. They are usuable, but my welding is not great so the ingots don't look very pretty :) Thank you and best regards.

@@woodandmetalhobbies3606 seen people use those teflon cupcake baking trays for aluminum

@@watahyahknow I can get a 12-cup tray for about $AUD 7.00. I like to try welding to improve my skills. I have some from mild steel... Thank you and best regards.

Hi, I am sorry for my late reply. I think you should talk to the supplier. I have used mine 30 minutes straight, and it is quite cool. Thank you for watching. Best regards.

@@woodandmetalhobbies3606 thank you

Thank you for Sir for your words of encouragement. I do appreciate it. And I do apologise also for my late reply. I had used up my first 1 kg of welding wire. I am on the second now :) I am still learning. I have not done anything significance yet. I am in the process of making a pouring tongs for my 4 Kg Devil-Forge melting furnace. I am using only recycle steel. This is a very small melting furnace. Thank you again, and best regards. ...behai.

Not basic for me. I have never done anything like this before. Please show us your works?

Thank you Stary, I will check it out. When I did this video, the only power tools I had used were drill, a few hours of circular saw and power hand plane :) I appreciate your advice. Thank you and best regards.

Yes. It does.

There is screws holding it, but i strongly recommend to leave riving knife at its place since it is essential for your safety. Watch out for kickback if you remove it. The only reason to remove is dado blades, but you can ether cut it shorter or make a new one from piece of scrap metal

I usually have it on. It would take about 15 ( fifteen ) minutes remove it: we have to take the little plate on top off, two screws. Then lift the blade all the way up: there are another 3 ( three ) screws with two ( 2 ) different heads which mount the knife the carriage. They make it difficult to remove due to safety reason, I am guessing.

Thanks for the info! Thank you.

Thank you for visiting.

Thank you Sir. I appreciate your comment and encouragement.

Good morning willd0g, I am in Melbourne too :) And enjoy your new found hobby. I believe the Melbourne Woodworking Show is comming up in few months. Hopefully this year, they are allowed to hold it. Last time before COVID, it was in Williamstown, next to the ship building dockyard... Years before that it was in Flemmington Racecourse, it is a very event. Please stay safe and take care.

@@woodandmetalhobbies3606 cheers thanks a lot I’ll do my best to be in attendance

Hi Philippe, I am sorry for my late reply, the screw that comes with the router is 14cm long. -- I have taken a photo of it, please see: drive.google.com/file/d/1CRbY4TBXq5ySv7PIp8NN3S_PJtBCg9AK/view?usp=sharing Thank you for visiting and good luck :) Best regards.

Hi, I am sorry for my late reply. They are solid rods. 20mm in diameters, and 2 metres in lenght. I sourced them locally.

Hi Neil, sorry for the late reply. The right extension is okay, it is level with the main table. But mine does not come with the the front extension, I believe the European version does.

Hi Robert, sorry for the late reply. No I have not thought of that.

Hi Jackie, sorry for the late reply. I like it. I found it stable. And as per manufacturer recommendation, we should only use it in this mounted position. Thank you for visiting.

Hi, I am sorry for the late reply. It is half an inch.

HI John, thank you for your input. I appreciate it very much. I am still learning it... so the last "...or..." is "I don't know yet how to use it properly" :) is true too. Thank you for your comment John. Best regards.

Hi Jay, thank you for your question. I am sorry for the late reply. No, I have not. I see your point: we have to work out where to mount it. Thank you Jay.

I am sorry ddboule. I can see why you say that. I will try to improve.

@@woodandmetalhobbies3606 don’t stop tho. Its appreciated 😊

@@ddoubledutch4783 Thank you. I don't present stuff very well. I do realise that.

Good afternoon Mr. Sneddon, I am sorry for my late reply. I don't quite understand your question, I am sorry. The length of the mounting rods is 26cm. Please see the photo attached: drive.google.com/file/d/1UbnPD5t7lAleylKa_b92OfkEby3CcnkV/view?usp=sharing It is just long enough so that the router bit is outside of the track's edge. We will need to move the track to where we want to cut. I hope this answer helps a bit with your question. Thank you and best regards.

Thank you ToolsConsumables, I am sorry for my late reply. I do agree what your analysis. "unless you find another way to support them all along their length." -- we to use different hardware I think. Thank you and best regards.

@@woodandmetalhobbies3606 Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your courteous reply; I have something similar in mind except I'll be using the HG type rails ( square) of 1500mm, 800mm & 500mm. I recently made a bench with an 1800mm long X 800mm wide with a foldable extension giving a total of 2400mm overall length. I plan on making it 3 dimensional but just like you my dilemma resides in wanting something that be removed rather quickly ( I wonder!!!). I may have have to build yet another bench solely for this purpose I think. Best wishes in your future endeavours. Kind regards.

@@dilipbaumier1327 Oh, I forgot, please no "Sir" :) I sort can picture your design. It sounds very sophisticated too. 2.4 metres is a very good length, I think it will cater for a large percentage of usage. A part from the time it takes to put together and taken apart, space is another issue too. If we could have another secondary storage to store them when not in use :) Yours sound very interesting and I am sure you will have a very good feeling when using it. Best wishes in your future endeavours too and enjoy woodworking :) Best regards.

This is where mounting a setup like this, vertically, to the wall in advantageous...

Ok good tip - so use a fence against the base of the actual router rather than using the straight edge attachment

Hi Kev, thank you your times and advice. When I made this video, I have been using the router for only a very short times. I did not know the issues that you suggested: "please only use the rounded edges of your router foot" -- This I certainly did not know. Thank you very much for educating me on this. I am learning to use router all via online. Thank you and best regards.

Thank you Kev for your kind words. And thank you for your advice too.
