I'm all for saving the whale for sure. That said I'm also one that will try anything. I can't fathom how one would taste but I'm thinking it would be pretty good.

Aus that is awesome. I really like the use of the files on the rear legs. I could be wrong but judging by the rebar front legs he has to be huge! Like the colors btw!

Sorry I didn't get to this thread until now and I see Buzzkill answerd your question the same way I would have. Everything would need to be upscaled. As for using a reducer I'm thinking that would change the flow but by how much I don't know. You can always experiment and see what you come up with. We may all learn a little something. Me, I just built two 3/4" inch burners as directed and have had no issues at all. Most of the time I only use the rear burner. Good luck with your build. This things are super easy to fabricate.

Well sir you are probably correct in saying that. Something similar perhaps as I'm not a fan of doing duplicates.

Yeah Thomas I thought about running it from the center similar to why you were thinking but then opted to use the lip on the rotor as a solid weld support and went that route.

Thank you gents. Yes the chain was fun for sure. What I ended up doing was clamping a str8 edge to my welding table, then laying out the chain along the edge with the opposite link resting on the str8 edge with the opposing link running along the side of the str8 edge then with vise grips locking it down str8 and tight. After that I welded each link to the next one, two welds rack on the back of the chain only to keep it clean. Worked well. Heres a couple of close ups Kevin O so you can see better. I hit rivited it together and welded in the spacer/ catch at the top. Aus, heat paint is just 1500 BBQ grill paint.

Oh ok, sounds like pretty good item to work with.

Well it seems like everyone fabricates a fire set. This is my take on a timeless classic. My bride has wanted me to make one and I thought Xmas was the perfect chance. This 36" tail 4 piece set (poker, broom, shovel and tongs) was made completely from salvaged scrap with a little forge manipulation right down to the 2011 Harley Davidson horn cover that doubled as the shovel. Even the broom was made from one of my old bench brushes that was tossed in a box years ago. The handles are made up of square rod I twisted up for the classic effect (l dig twisting metal lol) and then did some wrapping of round rod for an added flare. The base is a brake rotor and all the rings came from a couple chairs I found at the scrap yard and cannibalized for parts. Even the little glass globe that looks like fire came from a curtain rod my bride through out (yep she's getting it back lol). Painted the whole thing with heat paint and it's done just in time for Xmas. Speacking of Xmas, I'd like to take a moment to wish all of you fine folks and your families a wonderful holiday season.

The emperors new close look great. Does this brush on coat stay very thick Aus? Or does it spread and thin as it coats the piece?

I guess so....:)

Actually saw her last night and gave it to her, she started crying almost instantly, then my bride even started. Gzzzzz!

Lol, their just post count bumping Thomas!

Now that's something I gotta see Frosty....gonna hold you to it Lol!

Lmao.....yep!

Wow thank you very much Robert!

I'll have to check around, most farms around here are produce and a few dairy cows but not very many horses. I'll just have to keep my eyes open when I'm out riding around!

You know what they say Das, only the good die young so I'm golden lol!

Lol thank you Slag, actually 5 out of the 28 are vitamins, the rest are scripts....life in a bottle lol

Well thank you for that. I'm glad I'm here too....even if I have to eat 28 pills a day lol....

Lmao!

Thank goodness for insurance a Daz!

Um, I had to take off the other brick so the maw was big enough to take the picture you asked for Frosty!

I'm thinking that flatline once was enough for me for awhile....think I'll stay away from the flatline lol.....that said, cool idea!

Lol well thinking of the words from a wise fellow, "it only matters that the customer likes it" lol

Have to go see my cardiologist tomorrow and seeing she has given me the gift of life I thought it was the least I could do for her!
