Koek Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Made this for our local "Kids Vacation Work" (think summercamp) for which I volunteer. We work with a theme each for decoration and story purposes. Guess what the theme was this year... Anyway lots of first in this project, First time working with Sheetmetal First time time making an animal head First time making a bbq First time making part of it detachable and first time working with a hard deadline.

Irondragon ForgeClay Works Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I love it, my wife loves anything Viking, hope you don't mind if I "borrow" your idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I LOVE it! It's really got my creative juices flowing. I'm thinking oar skewers. Bundle sticks for firewood to resemble the Viking who's funeral it is? Does it float? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Stephens Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Koke, Very nice, I'm sure they kids will remember it, and a lot of us "not kids" for a long time. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I Love the Idea !! Great work ! I think that Idea could sell well ! A fire pit with soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koek Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Well she isn’t watertight so floating is out of the picture. And for anyone trying to make their own don’t try to use an old oildrum as cheap sheet metal, it really doesn’t like to be welded. bon appepit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Now you're making me hungry! Ugh. Eh, welding oil drum steel isn't bad " depending!" Try welding some of this new super thin car sheetmetal! That is tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yeah, a lot depends on your welder, I have a Hobart 120 Handler from probably 30+ years ago and it loves welding sheet steel like drums. That and autobody's is what it was designed for so it's really so-so on larger than 1/4" round. I REALLY like the last pic, makes me imagine the captain yelling out, "ALL HAMS ON DECK!!" Please show us more of your projects. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
