Owning a welder does not make one a welder. Best of luck but welding is not something you
pick up in a weekend. I think you may have bitten off more than you bargain for. |

Well making some progress and a bit behind on the post.
Here is cutting of the legs off the horizontal chamber...and the first cut....and my ugly mug. Up next the hinges, welding the door seals on after each door cut to try and keep the door from loosing shape. I will have more next time!! |

Okay got the right and left seals on and the door cut out. I still need to weld the bottom seal on the door, ran out of sun light and pulled it in the garage. The best part is I still get to do this again for the vertical chamber...what was I thinking ....lol....
Now for the first opening..... I still need to weld the seal on the inside of the drum under the hinges to make that nice and tight.... Door opened and no warping! Thanks for looking...more to come..... Last edited by BbqJohn; 09-11-2010 at 09:29 PM.. |

I was in the same boat....went and bought a 120 arc welder and it works pretty good. My welding is coming along, far from good, but I am learning. Good luck with your build! >>John |
