2.) Lid reinforcing wire and vent form
3.) Lid filled with refractory
4.) Filling and ramming the furnace body
5.) Refractory in place -- pipe located for tuyere
6.) Inner form rempved -- lid has ears for a bail
7.) The casting setup: blower, cope and drag in place, furnace
8.) Melting -- here I am re-melting a casting that had a shrink cavity and was rejected
