Casting Iron At Home in 'Ferrous Bueller'

Pushing my new furnace to the next level, this was my first attempt at casting iron. Starting with just under 4 lbs. of cast iron scrap from an old Singer sewing machine and a dose of 75% Ferrosilicon from BCS, I set off into unfamiliar territory. After 70min of full fuel through the .5 G.P.H nozzle, I decided to give it a go. Upon transfer of the crucible to the pouring shank, no liquid motion was visible. Even when tilted, the contents appeared solid. Game over. Just to be sure, I figured I'd tilt it further and was delighted when a stream of molten iron burst through the slag, filling my mold and destroying my cope. The iron seems to be very easily drilled and shows no chill, although I'm not sure about any of its other qualities. Ill put the sprue in the lathe when I get a chance. The lid lift is still a work in progress, but the furnace is now known as 'Ferrous Bueller'. As mentioned before, it is based on Myfordboy's Fairfax Model 2. The sand mold was hastily constructed as this was mainly a test of the furnace/burner combo. The knife came out well but the 482 block is just a glorified ingot. The third casting of a coin did not fill completely but showed incredibly detail. This misrun might be due to low pouring temperature or my botched pour.
