Thanks for the ideas.

I need to get some fuel first. Nearest coal is 1.5 hours away. Been too busy so far. Thanks for the input. I have around a ton of 1/4' round bar. I'll build a cross that fits.

Shouldn't go anywhere.

Going to attempt a 12volt variable speed induction..

Yea. The pipe cap didn't look too good. But I had several rain caps laying around. The fire will be in the future unless I get impatient and use charcoal.

Threw some legs on it, drilled some holes on a plate for a tuyere, and made a spooky looking ash dump. Now I need to steal my wife's hair dryer and locate some coal........

Thanks. Coincidently, I should have a few exhaust rain caps laying around. (Did I mention I'm a heavy equipment mechanic?) ;)

I've been throwing something together out if junk I had laying around from other projects. What should/could I do, or will it function OK? Tray is 29.5 x 19.5 x 1.5" brake drum is 11.75 id and 3.25 deep Pipe is 2"

Why do I always overlook the simplest solutions? Doh!

I'm finding that the 1.25" hardy is causing me a headache. Can't find many tools (especially on my budget) that fit. May have to make some.

Thanks for the input. Ideas were what I was hoping for. And thanks for the vote of confidence VaughnT. I reckon I'll modify it a few more times before it's finished.

I have loads of scrap laying around and a MIG. I often get bored and build whatever is on my mind. I don't know if it'll be worth finishing but it was fun. If I finish it, I'll redo the table in the front. It looks like a giant heat sink to me right now. But it was fun all the same.

Please excuse the mess.;) The stand is unfinished. I'm going to chain it down once I finalize the height and brace the legs. 162lb Brooks

Covington isn't so far that it'd keep me away. I'll contact em as soon as I'm not working 70+ hour anymore.

It might be a Brooks. There is blue paint under the foot.
