[QUOTE="Dr4gul3, post: 155740, member: 5164"] Hey there Jethro, I used to work in a gold refinery (Only left a couple of months ago to move state), I could probably link you to a couple of sites for crucibles. However it depends on the size of the bars you are pouring, and the type of furnace and fluxes you are using - and whether they can supply single crucibles etc.. And If you are in the greater Melbourne region I could probably hook you up with a link to a guy that has been contracting with the company I worked with. He could do anything from selling you crucibles, to building a furnace, to melting it for you, or if you are really nice he might just give you some great advice. he has been in the industry for 30 odd years so he knows his way around. P.s I know its my first post, so take the info as you will.. Just sharing what I know and trying to be of help :P P.S.S - if you look for "How to make a coffee can forge" on youtube, there are a couple of good lips and how too's - and materials they use instead of cement (perlite) for the inside of the furnace.
