they can be combined with low cost space age insulating materials and common containers to build light compact heating equipment.
Also described is a blacksmith's forge that can be carried anywhere and stored under a workbench; a portable metal melting furnace;
a portable farrier's forge; a portable glass furnace/glory hole; and a mobile hot-work station that aids in combining several crafts.
The burners and equipment provide an inexpensive way to get started in blacksmithing, foundry work, ceramics, or glasswork. General information
and specific designs are given, enabling the craftsperson to build equipment tailored to their own desires.

This review is from: Building a Gas Fired Crucible Furnace (Paperback)
I found this to be an excellent reference for those who wish to build their own crucible furnace. The text and illustrations were complete and easy to follow. I would encourage others to also check out Gingery's other titles on building crucible furnaces.
