How much weight do you typically get out of one of those pulls? A friend of mine is looking at getting all of the equipment for dipping right now....... I gave him advice on the line tubing best I could but this is a totally different game! I love these videos always so fun to watch

Those 30lb crucible furnaces from AIM are fantastic.. They work great for us.
I am not sure about the weight but will ask and let you know, I know its several pounds per pull.
They are telling me they are going to cut a hole in the floor to the next level
and put a pole in so they can make longer pulls. (I'm hoping they are kidding-but they probably aren't) I have seen them have to stop because they hit the ceiling.
Glad you liked the video.. I have a few more I may get around to getting up on something.

Ya they have their hidden stash and we just found another 150 lbs of that (Not so secret) ingredient so they can do some rod as they are getting a lot of requests for that too... They did some tubing but Jred took it to Spokane to the Flame off there this weekend..
