Thanks for the feed back. Both these designs have been in my head for a long time and I was really happy with the way they turned out. The leatherwork is acually the most time consuming. Just as an aside the chair in picture 2 was also made in my workshop. These chairs are made from green wood and completly done with only hand tools, the chair seat weaving is also hand done and something I enjoy. Guess there is some advange to getting old.

Steel  carved leather and maple

Shop made firepot, tuyere and table, pipe legs, dayton blower. Total cost in materials was 100 dollars. fire pot is 3/8 thick, hearth is 3/4 thick. The only problem was at first firing the grade 3 bolts holding the hearth to the tuyere seared off from the expansion and were replaced with grade 8.
