Need to cook incredible food over an open fire? This weld-it-yourself fire pit grill stand improves outside cooking and simpler.
Presentation
This venture looks noteworthy, however it's shockingly easy to fabricate. Work through these directions and you'll be cooking over an open fire quickly.
Devices Required
- 1/8-in.- thick piece wood or metal spacer
- 6-in. level
- Electric welder and security hardware
- Outlining square
- Miter saw
- Shims
- Measuring tape
Materials Required
- 1-1/2-in. x 1-1/2-in. x 15-ft. gentle steel point iron (3/16-in. thick)
- 1/2-in. x 1/2-in. x 13-ft. gentle steel square stock
- 1/4-in.- dia. x 65-ft. gentle steel bar
- Bubbled linseed oil
Project step-by-step (5)
Stage 1
Cut Parts and Assemble Side Frames
- Cut two front legs (utilize square gentle steel; 17-1/2-in. long every), two back legs (use point iron; 20-in. long each) and four side pieces (use point iron; 24-in. long each).
- Cut a 45-degree point on the back finishes of two side pieces.
1. These finishes will coordinate a comparable calculated end you'll cut on the two closures of the back piece. - Weld one front leg, one back leg and two point iron side pieces, taking consideration to arrange the calculated finishes of the top-most side pieces towards the back. This makes one side casing.
1. Utilize a craftsman's square to guarantee the front legs, back legs and lower side pieces turn out square comparable to one another. - Utilize this first casing as a guide for making an indistinguishable second side edge.
1. Expert Tip: While it's not totally imperative that the statures of different side-outline parts coordinate the plans precisely, it's essential that the two casings coordinate one another.
Stage 2
Amass the Main Frame
- Utilizing point iron, cut a 24-in. back piece. Cut the two closures of the back piece to a 45-degree point to coordinate the calculated cut on the finishes of the top-most side pieces you cut before.
- Weld the back piece to the side casings, going along with them. Level up the developing edge by shimming the get together as it sits on the ground, at that point utilize a six-inch level on the upper side pieces to situate them so they're even.
- Utilizing point iron, cut two upper side pieces, every nine inches in length, and weld onto the back legs.
Stage 3
Fabricate the Grills
- Utilizing the square mellow steel, cut two upper grill closes (both 24-in. long) and two lower grill closes (both 30-in. long).
- Utilizing the mellow steel bar, cut 29 grill bars, 24-in. long each.
- Spot these grill end pieces in the point iron they'll rest in when complete, at that point weld the grill bars to them.
- Note that the capacity to handily eliminate and supplant the grill congregations relies upon a specific measure of leeway between the grill closes and the point iron side pieces.
- Expert Tip: Use a 1/8-in.- thick bit of wood or metal as a spacer to safeguard freedom at the edges of the grill while you're welding the grill bars to the grill closes.
Stage 4
Add the Grill Handles
- Cut two 13-in. bits of gentle steel pole.
- Curve each handle in a tight clamp, utilizing your hands and a sledge, to frame the upper grill handles.
- Create the two handles as near indistinguishable as you can.
- Weld handles to the closures of the upper grill get together.
Stage 5
Wrapping Up
- Apply bubbled linseed oil to all pieces of the venture aside from the grills. Permit three days for the oil to solidify noticeable all around. The subsequent film will consume with extreme heat where the legs draw near to the fire, yet some will stay to ensure the metal somewhere else.
- Try not to paint this task since you need exposed steel for supporting the food you're cooking. Painting the leg gathering wouldn't bode well either in light of the fact that the paint will drop off in the warmth.
