A method of fabricating an electric induction furnace with a lining wear detection system, the method comprising the steps of: locating a wound induction coil above a foundation; installing a refractory around the wound induction coil to form a refractory embedded induction coil; positioning a wire assemblage refractory mold within the refractory embedded induction coil to provide a wire assemblage refractory volume between an outer wire assemblage refractory mold wall of the wire assemblage refractory mold and an inner refractory embedded induction coil wall of the refractory embedded induction coil; fitting a temporary top wire assemblage fixture around the top circumference of the wire assemblage refractory mold and a temporary bottom wire assemblage fixture around the bottom circumference of the wire assemblage refractory mold, each of the temporary top and bottom wire assemblage fixtures having a plurality of circumferential wire insertion notches (51', 52') around the circumference of each of the temporary top and bottom wire assemblage fixtures (51, 52), each of the plurality of circumferential wire insertion notches having a wire turn sub-notch (51", 52"); fitting at least one electrically conductive wire assemblage around the outer wire assemblage refractory mold wall of the wire assemblage refractory mold, the at least one electrically conductive wire assemblage comprising at least one continuous wire, the at least one continuous wire vertically weaved at least partially around the height of the outer circumference of the temporary top and bottom wire assemblage fixtures (51, 52) by sequential insertion of the single continuous wire within the wire turn sub-notch (51", 52") of each circumferential wire insertion notches (51', 52') of the temporary top and bottom wire assemblage fixtures; providing a wire assemblage refractory into the wire assemblage refractory volume to embed the at least one electrically conductive wire assemblage in the wire assemblage refractory to form an embedded wire assemblage refractory in the wire assemblage refractory volume; removing the wire assemblage refractory mold and the temporary top and bottom wire assemblage fixtures (51, 52) to form an interior wire assemblage refractory furnace volume; positioning a replaceable lining mold within the interior of the wire assemblage refractory furnace volume to form a replaceable lining wall volume between an outer replaceable lining mold wall of the replaceable lining mold and an inner embedded wire assemblage refractory wall of the embedded wire assemblage refractory, and a replaceable lining bottom volume above the foundation; feeding a replaceable lining refractory into the replaceable lining wall volume and the replaceable lining bottom volume; and removing the replaceable lining mold to form an interior volume of the electric induction furnace. locating a wound induction coil above a foundation;
