Flowerpot Furnace - Phase 3 - Tools
Above are two small crucibles, made from steel cans, just pinched by hand to form a spout. I think they're quite beautiful.
I constructed another tool from the rest of the steel tube from the wardrobe. This is for lifting and moving the lid. The end of the tube is cut square to lift the handle, the handle then fist in the notch to lift and move the lid. This was just done with a hacksaw and file to dress.
This image gives some scale to the pole, and how it will work.
