Hiya
A friend has asked me to build him a fire place for his house - he currently just has an open grill/grate which is surrounded by the bare brick.
He wants some sheet metal welded together and mounted into/on top of the wall and hole - hope that makes sense.....
Can I just use regular mild steel, say 6mm thick? Read on this forum that the fire casings themselves should be cast iron but I dont have an arc welder to fabricate one of these.
Any thoughts?
Blogs, info and any any technical specs anyone knows of would be very helpful
thaaaaanks!
