Default Ovens/Furnaces in the HSM/Woodworking Shop

A 10,000 degree F furnace ?

Don't I wish.

I wish I had a 6000 degree Rankine (5,540 F) furnace.

Hmm (scratching head). How about firing ceramics, working with
enamels/glazes, glasswork, making tea?

One of the furnaces in my shop is powered by a moderately hot (~6000
degrees Kelvin) remote unshielded fusion reactor. In the summertime I
use it for brewing tea. :-)
