    I love seeing things made! One suggestion though: way too many channels do the "don't show the final piece until the end". It feels cheap and "click-baity" to me. I would like to see the final form right from the start, and, if that piques[*] my real interest, watch the whole process. Hey... you asked for comments! :-)
    Nice to see you try new things for the channel. Keep it up!!!
    Edit: now that I reached the end... nice... I might actually copy this one, as I happen to have some similar looking scraps, and seems easy enough as to accommodate my short attention spans :-D
    Thanks Tim!!!

      That's were we're different. I prefer not seeing the finished product till the end. I think it takes some of the excitement away to see it in the beginning. However, some videos explain what is about to be made, which is a good compromise.

    Suggestions: 1) Tabs and slots for the feet instead of welded so they can be removed and stored inside the BBQ for space saving if stored or transported. 2) I have a folding BBQ that has side panels that don't go all the way to the bottom and live coals sometimes spill out through that gap, so having them more of a semi circle to the bottom could prevent that.

    • @snoopu2601

      Way to heavy for as small as it is. I made a BBQ pit way lighter out of an old tool box I jest put some bolts screwed in the sides to hold the screen drill holes in the top for vents. Everything fit in the tool box locks and can keep in the truck of a car ready for beach, park what not and way lighter then that. The tool box I bought a garage sale for $5 buck. I know it's not scrap metal but if you have any type of metal box around it can easily be made into a BBQ pit box. Just cut hole on the bottom and top to vent it.
      A hobo stove could be easily be made out of pip with a screen just cut a hole on the bottom so you can feed or put wood on the bottom it will get real hot fast like a rocket stove.

    A tennis ball canon. Made one once. For the fun of it, I took ten tennis rackets and lined them up. I charged the canon with M-80 and fired it at the rackets. The ball went through six rackets, so I loaded it up again and us a quarter stick. I lit the fuse and ran like hell. Got behind my truck just in time. The ball went through all ten rackets and kept on going. The pipe, never did find that.

    If I save it, I don’t call it scrap metal (or plastic, or wood, or…). I call it “stock”. Since those 25% tariffs on metal came about several years ago, metal prices have soared. Even small pieces can be too valuable to throw away.
    And if you have some leftover short pieces such as the 1” by 1/8” that Tim used as feet, and need a longer piece, you can weld them end to end, on both sides, and have a long piece that’s as strong as the original.
    Cool little grill, Tim.

    By the way, can I ask a COMPLETELY UNRELATED QUESTION concerning welding ground clamps? Over the years, I have replaced all my grounding clamps with the super strong cast brass(?) type because those are so bullet proof and secure. I have always wondered why those heavy duty brass clamps have a sort of "duck bill" design, where the bottom piece protrudes about 1/2 inch past the top piece, making it kind of awkward for many projects. Why are these designed that way? There are many makers, but an example would be the Berger 63849 clamp at HF. Call me dumb, but I tend to cut that protruded part off, flush with the top, first thing. Thanks for your great videos.
