This isn't really a workshop thing, it's for my wife's playgroup to use so the kids can have a campfire. Wifey suggested the idea and her boss said she'd seen one in a catalogue for £280.00!!!
'Sod that' says I, 'I've an unused gas cylinder kicking about, I'll knock summat up' , so I did.
Cut the bottom off with a wavy pattern, cut the normal base ring off, smoothed out the resulting projections and edges and cut up the base ring to make the legs & feet. Just needs painting now and I'm glad I looked as Hammerite do silver stove paint as well as black which I think will make it look better. I'll put a finished pic on here. as well.
The fire pit.
And again.
These fire pit's today, they've no shame!
One of my better welds (yes, I know it's nothing to write home about!
), typically it's on the underside of the thing

One of my better welds (yes, I know it's nothing to write home about!

) whilst inhaling the heady aroma of burning red paint. I would love to know what the hell brand of paint it is that they use as it's bloody tough, it will still need a sander to fetch it all off!
