Default Home made heat treat oven information

You could have a look here
http://www.euclids.com/element-design.htm

There was a similar thread last week (03/02/04, 02/03/04 US) entitled
"Temperature controlled furnace?" and (14/01/04, 01/14/04 US) entitled
"furnace heating element" that may be of use.

Anyone have any plans or ideas on making a home made heat treat oven
of say 10 x 12 x 15 inches or so in size? Electrical operated and
running off 220 preferably, definately no propane powered furnace is
wanted.

I looked in the drop box fro such a project but have not seen any,.
but then again I may have missed one that is in there. Anyhow anyone
with any info on making a heat treat oven thats out there, I certainly
would appreciate some insight.

I have 2.5 x 4.5 x 9 inch insulated fire brick that I plan to use for
th liner / insulation and fit these inside a bent sheet steel box
hopefully. Not looking to make a huyge oven just something to heat
treat a few small items from time to time.

Any info appreciated.
