Which isn't available any longer. I got it on sale for like $75, but there is enough there for me to make another 2-3 foundries like i currently have.
For the refractory i was looking into making my own, but got a bit lucky that I live in Houston and there is about anything you want in this town because of the port and shipping here. I found a warehouse that stocked foundry supplies, mostly for large scale operations, but I bought about 100lbs of refractory cement, and probably 10 high temp fire bricks for probably $50. All the bricks were chipped so he sold them to me for like $1 each since his other customers wouldnt take them.
The burner was modeled after the reil burner, but since i didnt have any forging ability when i was making it i found a video/website on using plumbing supplies with the bell ends and the like and it has worked well for me.
All in I think i spent probably $150-$175 on everything. however if i build another one it will be reasonable since I kept leftover ceramic blanket and I know exactly what I will need for another.
