A-FURNACE PART 5


Stove Burners - These heat the stoves and are fueled by clean blast furnace gas.  There is one per stove.  The drawings don't show much detail on these other than a basic shape.  I was lucky to find a close up photo on the internet showing the burner.  There is quite a bit of detail on these.  I was thinking of carefully replicating one unit and then making a mold and casting additional pieces, however, the shape of them would be difficult to mold well.  I have opted to make each one individually with some simplification, but still enough detail.  They are built from styrene tubing - mostly 5/16 but with some of other sizes.
