DIY Video : How to heat your garage the Inexpensive way by building an Outdoor Stove with Heat Exchanger
This video shows you how to make a 55 gallon Barrel Stove with Heater Exchanger to heat your garage .This one uses a 30 gallon drum which goes inside the 55 gallon drum and the 55 gallon drum is used as a heat exchanger.The heat exchanger assists heat transfer to the room, largely determining how much wood is used. Heat exchangers increase heat transfer to the room by making sure that the hot flue gases leaving through the chimney are as cool as possible. The pipe goes into the garage through a 4 inch hole .

- How to build a Simple,Effective Metal Melting Furnace using Old Steel Container and Ceiling Fan parts. No welding required
This video series shows the build of a homemade cheap metal melting furnace.No welds were required to make this furnace.An old steel container was used for the body of the furnace.Masking tapes was used to provide a visual guide for cutting the furnace with an angle grinder.The container was 13 inch from the bottom.High temperature castable refractory and ceramic insulation were used in order to reduce propane fuel use and to allow for the possibility of melting copper alloys. Most of the materials, besides the ceramic insulation and castable refractory, were salvaged for this build.
