I stumbled upon this: http://donsbarn.com/free-smelting-furnaces/ I think it's in Virginia, it may interest someone there.
Those do indeed look pretty nice. Who have we got in Virginia? The only one that immediately come to mind is Zapins.
Yep I'm here. Those would be a good addition for sure. What part of virginia are they in? I can't see it easily on the site. I'm in south virginia (norton va).
And you can SMELT all the ore you can stuff in them too! Doesn't anyone own a dictionary? For free, I'd take them! Smelt verb verb: smelt; 3rd person present: smelts; past tense: smelted; past participle: smelted; gerund or present participle: smelting extract (metal) from its ore by a process involving heating and melting. "tin smelting" extract a metal from (ore) by smelting.
I was looking for that too, I couldn't find it on the site either. Might be be worth it to you to send brief email.
The site says "the barn on White Run" so I googled "White Run Virginia" and came up with two result both about 30 miles out of Harrisonburg, one to the east and one to the west.
If thats it its a good 6 hrs drive from me. Still not a deal breaker. Might allow me to do enormous double pours at the same time. Getting these might be unhealthy for my work life balance if I spend all my time casting megalithic sculptures...
