Hobbyist builds long oven for heat-treating coated tubes

Original: I have wanted a long oven to heat tubes up in for quite some time. Such an oven would only need to get to about 800 F. T

A hobbyist has built a long tube oven rated to around 800 F to burn the binder out of small batches of custom coated tubes. He says the design lets him heat tubes evenly on all sides, something he had wanted for a long time, and the project is drawing interest from fellow makers interested in DIY kilns.

Why now: DIY workshop and home-engineering projects regularly circulate among maker communities
