I built this today. All the wood was recycled from scrap and the nails came from the trash. Completely free.

Looks good. Hopefully, it's attached to the wall. Wouldn't want that to tip over on you. Could be very bad.

It's anchored to a stud.

Awesome. Change out that turbo tumbler for a hotplate and mould oven, pop out a folding table for air cooling or a quench bucket and you're good to go! I love free stuff.

Hey Swampman, I like the setup but where do you release the castings?

I couldn't operate with so little room to spread out. I made a cover for my table saw and cast on it.

I made mine out of a quarter-sheet of 3/4" plywood, good on one side and framed it in 2x4's.
It's on 2" wheels, and the height was set to fit me in a metal folding chair.
