  • I make a Metal Firepit to do Campfire and Dutch oven cooking with a swinging pot hanger - repurpose Scrap Metal Project.
    I repurpose old rusty scrap metal, to make an outdoor cook station with a swinging pot hanger and my rebar crossbar with hooks and 4 loose butcher hooks also. We love open-fire cooking and Dutch oven cooking when we are camping, and now with this metal firepit cooking setup, we can do it all at home also, without the need to travel.
    This was an enjoyable metalworking project for me, and even better is this project will be staying home with us, and I think will get quite a bit of use.
    It is made from old rusty loading ramps for loading bobcat loaders onto a truck, and the metal is quite thick, it was to be scrap metal, but I saw the potential of a good project and now I have a metal fire pit.
    It is quite heavy, it is 78 kg (171 pounds). I have a nice spot for this to sit and I don't think it will get moved much.
    The main tools used were a MIG welder, angle grinder, drill, and bench vise.
    Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

    Very awesome video, full show of all it takes to achieve finished product. Lots, and lots of work and hours. More should be able to see things just like this so the rest can actually appreciate what it takes to make real life craftsmanship happen. God bless your energy to actually film your build project. Much appreciated by hands like yours. Peace always.

    What a piece of art! I guess it's been 20 years since my last project. My tilt was toward trailers and BBQ pits. Everything I cut back then was torch, porta-band saw and Dewalt chop saw (like yours but older model). I acquired a plasma cutter, which was a dream come true. I never would've thought of using a grinder with a cut off wheel. That's all I see now. Now that I'm retired, I plan on breaking out the old tools and getting back into it. Going to have to get a bucket of those wheels and figure it out. Great project mate!

      @@GavinClarkdiy I was also curious about how it might be used... a few years back I built an outdoor cooking fireplace... went a different route to get to cooking spaces for my cast iron... I did a free stacking of cement blocks, bricks a pavers of different types and did an outer and inner shell to the fireplace, cut t-posts to create shelves to support 6x6 inch pavers into 12 inch wide very thick shelves that would hold Dutch ovens on their legs above a roaring fire on the lower shelf and and upper shelf that would hold a couple hundred degrees Fahrenheit for 2 quart Dutch ovens to bake cakes at... the lower shelf was good for roasting and stews in my larger Dutch ovens... I never did the hanging of Dutch ovens without the Lodge tripods and those wouldn't fit in my cooking fireplace... they would work well over my Solo Stove firepits and camping Stoves... I would think your design would fit inside the huge castle sized fireplaces... not something we are allowed to have indoors here due to air quality issues of fireplaces... so if your design was built for outside I am curious about the fire management half of the design... a half fire pit or open fireplace situation... with reflective back walls and maybe a covered area over where the cook and guests might enjoy the fire.... I went with an offset patio umbrella setup... I considered an off set metal awning, just a bit out of smoke and sparks of a roaring fire... the patio umbrella has survived for about a decade of use... very curious about how your design works in practice.

      @@lethaleefox6017 Your system sounds great, with mine, the hardwood log fire goes on top, and you use a shovel to put nice red hot coal from the fire to build a mound to sit the dutch oven on next to the fire and also put hot coals on top of it, if needed to heat or brown the top of what you are cooking, you adjust the heat by using more or less hot coals while the fire continues to burn next to it, if you need more coals they will be there in the fire, the grid is heated the same way. This is outside so smoke is not a problem, with no back on the unit many people can sit all the way around it during or after the cooking just sitting around the fire into the night.

    Crafted such sturdy; it can also resist Martian hurricanes. Beautiful idea. Also, the sound during welding the grill (16:30 and 19:15)) was like a "symphonic couplet". It would be a nice song if I had the ability to convert to notes. 😪

    Awesome work Gavin. ya know that would look really nice in my back yard here in Florida. LOL, kidding, not kidding hahaha... You never cease to amaze me on your builds. One thing I wonder is how when bending your round bar do you keep the angles parallel and meet up for the final weld. are you laying it flat prior to the next bend or do you pound it level behind the scenes? seems like you make all of your 90° bends, and they always seem so level and meet up in the end. if that makes sense? Can't wait for your next video, keep'm coming mate!!

    • @GavinClarkdiy
      @GavinClarkdiy  Рік тому +3

      Thank you very much, I am happy that you liked it. My vise hangs over at the ends so most of the time I can bend it in line with where it needs to be bent and I can see down to the previous bend to get the line straight, but in saying that there are times when adjustments need to happen after the bend to get it right, I normally do this using the vise using a pipe or hammer, not pounding it against the bench. PS when I made the 4 butcher hooks I did not adjust anything while making them in the vise bit of the video, BUT I did straighten them before the final shot where I hang them on the rail, so they all sat nicely together. Every one of the nails needed some sort of adjustment. I use the square a lot to check my 90 bends are 90 before I move on to the next bend as that is the time to do it it is easy to bend it back or forward a bit while it is still in the vise held at the same spot as the original bend, before moving on, plus I can slide the pipe on it then. (You will see in the background, my square moving around on the bench in bits of my videos during bends and everything I do "watch for it, every time it has moved I have checked something"). In saying that, a lot is cut out of the video trying to speed it up, eg there were many hours of video taken to make this, and I got it down to 46 min. I hope that helps a bit Ron.
