POZ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I finally installed a wood box on our stove today, it's been in the works for way to long. I had another young guy help me on it a fair bit, it's definitely better for his help, but it's still a bit of a mess, the rest of the family seems to like it though. Any way, see if you can spot the arc welding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I don't "see" any. At a guess it would be on the downward leaf mounts on the center shelf. But it dosnt matter. Nice job, it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That's great wood holder. Can't see the welds and who cares anyway? Lovely work with the rivet heads. I like that stonework too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Looks great, if I would have to guess by the pictures the weld could be at the corner where the two horizontal bars meet. Little accident while drifting the holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POZ Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 You got it KRS, not while drifting but before, I overheated the bar and instead of turning the air off and letting it sit, we pulled it out and pulled it apart. Sadly I can't take credit for how neat most of the rivets are, my buddy did most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POZ Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 I do have a question though, if you had to make the leaves on the end of the 1/2x1 how would you go about it? How I made them is I butchered half way through from the top and forged the "leaf" from that, after I was "happy" with the leaf I bent it down and upset it under the end of the bar so that it would sit flat against the brick. I found that I was getting stress cracking around the bend though, so I tried to reinforce the back with some weld. It seems to work but I wouldn't want to do it that way again.
