So this is the progressive build of the forge which took about 4 months mainly because this is a hobby not a job.
Bus rim with 1/4" diamond plate welded to the bottom to create the fire pot. |  |
Another view of the bottom. |  |
I attached some more diamon plate to fill in the rest of the holes. |  |
I then attached legs to get it off the ground obviously. |  |
Same picture just standing on its own. |  |
Added some stabilizers between the legs to make it a solid unit. |  |
Another view just closer look. |  |
FInal view attached wheels and a galvanized 1 1/2" pipe. The lid is more of the 1/4" diamond plate. The blower attaches to the pipe sticking out and gives air to the fire pot. All and all this project has only cost me a nickle for the diamond plate. Everything else I had laying around at home. |  |
