Not exactly back to working on A-Furnace but I will be real soon. One of the things that have been bothering me with this structure was the foundation of the cast house. I have never been thrilled with its appearance or construction, and I was having problems with warpage that was causing the structural columns to lean out of plumb. The styrene over a styrofoam core was just not a good idea. The more work I did on the blast furnace proper the more this would probably bother me, so I figured I better solve this problem now. I intend to build a new base using MDF and scrap the old one. I was able to remove intact the wall framing, so I should be able to just reattach this to the new base. Photo is the old foundation RIP
