Foundry floor

[trapper23]

Right Guys I've now made my furnace using an old Propane cylinder. I'm intending to run this on charcoal simple for safety reasons whilst I learn how to do this properly. My question now is given that I need to construct some kind of shelter to operate in what should I construct the floor from...... I've read some frightening stories about "damp" concrete floors. The walls and and roof will be steel. Any advice will be appreciated.

A bed of dry sand is best !

good old dirt. like abby said sand . clay will work . dirt/clay is the classic blacksmith floor.

concrete as you know can explode spaul. wood can catch fire.
