If I can fill in any blanks?? Please e-mail.. I work in a smelter.
I have had this on my mind for a long time, just have not gotten creative to
put something together. It would be a great idea.. I think you have to think
big if you decide to go all out and build this..!!
Most smelters have the same principals in place although a lot of different
processes are involved.
