Rob,

What type of welder are you using? Nice job of welding up the sculpture. Thumbsup

Hi Rob , coming along nicely Drool

, I do like to see a robust job getting done Big Grin

, not like the S***E on sale new everywhere these days,there would only be the odd tack weld on the finished job.
I dont think yours will come to much harm if it takes a knock Rotfl

Cheers Mick

I here you Mick ,,,,,,,,,,,never buy a Doosan forklift the welding on those is very poor , I think they should be re branded as DooDoosan Rotfl

Well tonight's offerings ,not much but better than nowt Rotfl

, finished off the welding ,ground off the weld flush on the underside of the top flange .

and ground up and rounded off the edge of the top face of the top flange .

Just need to cut a hole into the hearth to fit the fire pot .

Cheers Rob Popcorn

A tad more done yesterday ,I got the hole cut into the hearth for the fire pot .After laying out I drilled out the corners with a hole saw ,this is so I would have rad corners, it also gave me a chance to try out the slow air drill John DB gave me ,one of his boot sale finds. It worked a charm.

Next joined the holes with the oxy torch .

A wee clean up with the grinder .

Jobs a good un.

Cheers Rob
