So far I have a 1 HP motor and a 3/4" shaft with bushings and locking collars.
The motor has a 5/8" shaft. I'm thinking of using a lovejoy coupler instead of the rag join used on OlFoundryman's machine.

Sand Processing Machine Build
I've started collecting the bits to build a sand processing machine like that used by OlFoundryman on YouTube.
So far I have a 1 HP motor and a 3/4" shaft with bushings and locking collars.

Found Foundry Furnace Outer Shell ?
Nabbed a dryer drum. It just might make a nice shell for a larger electric aluminum furnace. Maybe use sodium-silicate sand mix to form the hot face and wire looms. Back that with rock wool if the stuff I have is still good. If not upgrade everything to take brass.UPDATE: This is a bit on the big side but still might work. Would be better suited for a spin casting sheild.
