As soon as the furnace was dry, we were able to take it apart and reassemble it on the floor. This was made easy by using the metal bars (old blowing irons).

The reassembly also went smoothly. In particular, the sloping cuts allowed the melting chamber sections to 'fall' inwards and so stay in place. The way that the two large melting chamber sections had been cut to ensure a low centre of gravity added to the stability.
