- How to build a DIY Steel Fire Pit. I welded this fire pit together from ⅛” steel plate and ⅛” square tube. It was my first time welding a full metal project and cutting this much steel at once. I learned a lot about metalworking and came out with a sweet portable DIY fire pit. It’s perfect for taking to tailgate or just a backyard firepit that won’t take up a permanent spot. #firepit #metalworking #welding

Link to plans?? Measurements more specifically
Great Job! You made it look so easy!!
So did you put that metal cutting blade into a normal circular saw? not a metal cutting circular saw?
Exactly what I'm looking to build. Question: is there anything you can spray, coat, or imbue the metal with that would 1) protect it from the elements, and 2) still be food-safe (for searing steaks and such!)?
Thought you said you would have plans available for this?
Adding some carry handles when its “hot” would be a nice value add.
loved this one. Simple yet elegant....perfect for a tailgate or backyard BBQ.
thanks, Mike! If this isn't the definition of modustrial I don't know what is :)
@@Fixthisbuildthat It say it gets the Modustrial look spot on!
Great project! I respect you for being vulnerable and showing us where you went wrong or made mistakes.
thank you!
That welder you used with an "entry-level price point" lol. It's obvious, at a grand, we have different definitions on "entry level". 😊
I was thinking the same thing
The Titanium 125 at harbor freight is a good entry level machine at $180-200.
My entry level is a amico 160 stick/ tig. $150 and so far so good. Burn 3/32 7018’s and 1/16 6013’s and 3/32 309’s. Rarely use 1/8 as I don’t typically work with over 1/4” steel
It’s a good investment if you know your going to get further into welding but I do agree that this is a high price for “entry level”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a trapezoid... Thanks to the NHL for teaching me that :P
Dangit, I knew it!
Nice Job, build a workbench from 2" or 2 1/2" SQ x 3/16' wall Tube with 3/8 or 1/2" Top Plate 4' sq or 3' x 4' & bolt vise to it
That is a project to pick as your first. I love building things with my everlast equipment. Nothing quite like building things out of steel.
This is so awesome!! Your welding projects are 🔥🔥
thanks, brother! I got some Maker Ranch vibes going on this one
Sorry but was the square tube 3/4" or 1/8"? The video said 3/4" but the paragraph after says 1/8". Can't wait to make it, wonderful video.
From looking at it , it looks to be 3/4” diameter and it’s 1/8” thick
I’m looking for measurements on the actual fire pit I work at fab shop as on cnc operator and gonna try and cut them myself on my burn table and purchase the materials for this little fire pit
I have recently started to have in interest in metal working and I really appreciate videos like this that show how the beginner can get started without needing a ton of fancy tools. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing.
Just found my first "learn to weld by myself" project... !... Thanks
I've been doing woodworking as a hobbyist for about 4 years now and have been thinking about incorporating metal. This was a great project to get me motivated! Thanks for the video!
I’ll have to give those blades a try. The fire pit looks 🔥🔥🔥
thanks, Chad! If you have a slow speed saw the 14" one is a MUST. So much better than an abrasive saw
Used your design for the bowl of my firepit, but did a "remix" of the base. Thanks for a great video.
Brad that is a beautiful design! I need to check out those blades!!
Thanks, David! Definitely went for some mid century inspiration.
I discovered the Diablo steel demon blades a year or two ago. They are *the* best steel cutting blades on the market.
This is a simple and elegant design !This will be my first welding project once I buy my welder! Thanks for sharing !
have fun with it!
I can imagine (know everything except how to constructively teach) experienced welders will come along and hate on you, but as a novice I give you huge props for your brass. Some guys tend to forget that this is exactly how we all learn. Nicely done, and Thank you, Brad.
thanks, Alan. I always go in with a good dose of self deprecation to keep things honest :)
I like this, I don't onow if it would be possible, or if you will even see this, but could you give me the measurements for the finished project? The length of the finished leg peices, the lengths of each trapezoid, and so on? I would like to do this one as a project.
You should really try to use a bandsaw to cut metal. It works really well. But you also have to learn how to use it a little. It works like a charm
I LOVE those steel demon blades! I can't live without them now
they are the bomb!
Pretty cool. Now I know what i'm using some of the scrap metal at work for. I'd love to see you build an outdoor cooler or something.
I really dig this. It's so simple in the cuts but the final piece has a nice modern complexity to it. I'm very very interested in making something like this and actually have the equipment but am hesitant to pull the trigger not knowing how it might stand up to the elements. I'd love if it you'd post an end of summer instagram update to show how it held up...maybe? Cheers brad.
If you finished it with a high temp paint it would probably hold up nicely
AWESOME VID CAN YOU PLEASE DROP THE MEASUREMENTS AND DIMENSIONS FIR THIS PIT ❤
Well done dude, you have golden hands and will continue to make interesting videos
The portability of it is a nice touch!
thanks, Bruce! I could come up aces at tailgates!
Just an awesome build as always. I'd love to see you build a bbq grill either from a 55 gal drum or similar steel sheets you used for the fire pit. I just enjoy watching your videos. I always learn something new. Cheers!
A new BBQ is a great idea!
That Diablo Blade is insane. Great Vid!
yeah, it's pretty sweet!
Nice design! Its good you showed us how not to cut and told us how you should cut. Thats a great tip
Yeah, no need to repeat my errors
@@Fixthisbuildthat I think that is the beauty on our community, we can learn from each other trough our videos. Well done man!
Awesome brad, you’re very creative and your work is excellent!
thank you!
Just started the Podcast, thanks for all the knowledge!
Love this! Great project to incorporate welding into the arsenal
This 🔥 pit is absolute 🔥. Nice job, my dude!
Thanks, Sam! 💪💪
I use bulldog shears 💪💪👍 that's what real tinknockers do 👍👍💪💪😊
New subscriber here and I enjoyed watching this video, I like the idea and simple design of the fire pit, I used to make fire pits out of 1/4” steel, heavy yes but it lasted well over 5 years
Thanks for the sub 👍
Is it also solid when u only weld it on the outside (not the inside as u did)?
Nice metal project! Fire pits are expensive so this is a great DIY
Yeah, no doubt, Jesse. This is only like $50 in metal, if that.
Fix This Build That Perfect!
Planning on making this fire pit... Is there a list of material you used, and best recommended blades for seven and a half in skill and a four and a half inch angle I'll be using a yeswelder mig 205ds-b welder
Muy buen trabajo. 👍.. Saludos desde Argentina !!
I like it. I do a lot of traveling for work and it’s good throw down grilled. I would add horse shoes as handles. I’ve built some before but lil bigger and heavy. That style is perfect no stack required Perfect for grilling. Awesome job brother
the legs act as a decent handle, but horseshoes would be a nice country flare
I loved the firepit
Nice. It looks like a great project. If you do let it rust, just be careful you don't stain any cement or wood.
thanks, and good call
Wow! I heard Bob talking about this on the Making It podcast. It came out great Brad! I really like the design.
Thanks!
Isso é um aquecedor?!
Great work!
Should’ve done handles too tho
Dang it!! Very impressive! Do a project without welding! Using screws nuts and bolts and a drill and an angle grinder. I sure could use some tips on joints. (Not weed). I realised with profiles u can make holes and put metal rods through. Or even wood. A bookshelf or shoestand maybe? Or why not a workbench or an A frame as a roof for a workshelter, portable maybe?
Nice work as usual, vert stylish and modern looking fire pit. The way the legs are sort of an inverted shape of the bowl makes me wonder if it could be made in 2 pieces that nest somehow for storage. Not sure how but it would be cool. Also, the chop saw, was that a slow speed saw intended for a metal blade or a high speed saw intended for an abrasive wheel? I know April had tried that blade on a saw meant for abrasive wheels and had a problem. I have an abrasive saw that i would LOVE to swap to a metal blade.
That blade has to be used on a slow speed saw. 1800 RPM or less
I’ve never seen a circ saw cut steel. I’m impressed.
Pretty cool, huh!
Fix This Build That hell yea bro. Good sponsor congrats.
I build many fire pits and I do like yours for the simple design, one thing try not to use 1/4 inch round stock it will warp on you and will burn thru sooner than you think, use 3/8 round , 3/8 square or rebar for you fire grate , they will last much longer.
I'm a certified welder 👍 can't wait to blow out a couple of these bad Larys 👍💪😊
this project is awsome you really inspired me.
Nice job. It needs a grill top for cooking though.
Could I get a cutting list please
Pretty cool. That turned out great. 👍🏽
What a super-hunk! 💪🏽
Your Fire Pit Looks Awesome! 👍🏽
Nice fire pit build a tool box next
Love the way you work
Really cool project! I might try this sometime! Thanks for sharing!
I love how you gave nobody actually dimensions lol..well played
How tall are the angled legs? And the upper and lower leg pieces that connect the 2 angled legs? How long?
How much roughly was the total cost of the project?
Cool,say please ,what is materijal for plate and grill,,,steel but which?thx
Nice fireball
What type of respirator did you use and did you use it while grinding and welding?
If you don't mind me asking, what were the measurements of the trapezoids and the big rectangle? Also how much of the square tubing was needed. Pls and thank you.
I've been watching you for awhile you do some good work on the welding I use a pencil from an art store it's a metallic silver
I'll take 2, thanks
How much square tubing do you need for the legs and what gauge is it too?
Its called addition
What were the measurements that you were making on your tape measure?
What are the measurements of the sides? Trapezoid sides are 2' at the top but what about the bottom? And the other sides are 2' by what? And what are the lengths of the frame?
Those Diablo blades are amazing and work well. Don’t just wear eye protection though, wear a face shield because they make and throw what my wife has named “razor glitter” after angrily finding bits of it in my work shirt pockets.
GREAT IDEA
Nicely done Brad! 👌🏻 you nailed it! Pun intended!
😀
Nice. Build mate.
How many feet of square tubing was used?
This is such a great project! I love the portability!
When welding the sides of the pit, does it matter if you weld on the inside or the outside? I’ve watched several videos and it is split down the middle - some weld on outside and some weld on inside. Does it matter or is it for looks?
Great video. More of this, maybe a bbq side table...
thanks!
Came out great! Simple and awesome. 🤗
thanks!
Grab yourself a used (oil or fuel) drum say 20 gallon or 40 Gallon and turn them into either a fire pit or flip top BBQ. Maybe using scrap steel reo for legs etc. Great vid :-)
I'd like to make a BBQ, that would be fun!
Everybody makes a fire pit from a drum!! I like the sheet metal look with the angles myself
How has this held up so far? I know it’s going to rust since it’s not stainless but just curious.
Definitely should have painted it...it's got quite a bit of rust
Cool. Very cool.
Nice simple project. I like it.
Congratulation my friend.
What are the measurements for this fire pit
Nice job, I love
Great first metal work. Well done.x
Great video. How do you like your headphones? They look like ISOTunes (?). Want to find a more comfortable option to wear other than earmuffs, because those don’t mix with safety glasses. Thanks for the info.
Love the headphones. You can get $10 off any of the headphones they have using my kink in the description and code FTBT 👍👍. I recommend the Xtras
Loved this Brad!
thanks, Phillip!
If you were to paint it, what kind of paint would be safe and stay on?
High temp spray paint
Cool thing man!
To get some cleaner welds, do a little better prep grinding off the mill scale about an inch or 2 away from your weld. Will help the clean up process
Hey man I was just wondering for my future of welding how much you would sell that for? How much did you put into it?
Is there a place to find measurements for this? Looks great!
very cool. Great video, too.
I realize this is an older video, but can you check the affiliate link for the welder? Its not working for me. I plan to buy the Lincoln 140 MP in the next couple weeks, and would like to support the channel at the same time. Thx!
i only have experience of a corded grinder. how well does thas cordless work? when welding u use shielding gas?
Cordless is pretty good and yes I use shielded
Awesome job 😁
Did you get any warping after use
This is GREAT!!
