IF that is the base of the firebox, Yes Irondragon Forge & Clay said up to 9mm wide slots are better than holes the block up.- can I weld this
The firebox base plate is a dummy only till I got feedback from Irondragon Forge & Clay he did and said I would be better with up to 9mm slots in the firebox base,just to cover myself im asking all for the correct info before I commit as I do more, im also putting a pivoted quick release door at the rear as suggested for longer stock.- First solid fuel forge fab.
Will be that then thanks much appreciated, to all that critique and teach me thank you very much.- First solid fuel forge fab.
Cheers Irondragon Forge & Clay so what size maximum gaps for the slots 1/4 " ??- First solid fuel forge fab.
First yes im putting in a horizontal door for that so I can do longer stock, and the plate in is only for show of the height, it will be 12mm thick and im not sure about holes for or slots in it so far.- First solid fuel forge fab.

6 h 29 min (620.2 km) via National Highway A1 and Lincoln Hwy/B100 from me, I was over there 3 years ago.- First solid fuel forge fab.
Start of today got two reply's about welding brake drums, Ive done lot of types of steels and alloys over forty years so I thought stuff that too hit and miss for me ,so bought some 200 x 12 flat and got this far in about 5 hours this afternoon, now my question to carry on is what is the best depth? it,s about 240mm square inside at top, I can change to what is best recommended it is at 170mm deep at the moment but reducing it will be easy as required thanks all. 500- can I weld this
Thanks guys, as I said I only have a week off before I go back, I do appreciate both reply's, but im like a bull when it comes to getting stuff done so ive just got back after buying a 200mm x 12mm flat bar that im fabricating into a fire pit, might aswell go down that path as it,s what I do for a living, I recently bought a 250 amp Lincoln welder im super impressed with, It is way better than the 350 amp three faze ( 8 month old) machine I use where im employed.- Newby 40 years as a boilermaker/welder
Marc1 unbelievable Marc1 his museum is in my State!! about 7 hours away,I thought for incite ( for me lol) this was his set up,- can I weld this
G,day all maybe a straight forward question hopefully A brake drum is it cast steel, because work is a week off as I could get heavy bore pipe as my coal fired pot or get the drum today if it is welder-able with my mig/argon mixture, if cast iron I can just get a small pack of castcraft electrodes, thanks in advance for a reply.- Newby 40 years as a boilermaker/welder
