Chimenea/Patio log burner

[gj1994]

Been a long time, but im back with another fabrication :L
Heres what we had to build to pass our PEO level2 in college

We had to Make the 'Square to round' bottom, the two cones, 2 flanges, and the chimney its self. Plans and dimentions were given for these but everything else was down to personal choice(: (the legs, door, hinges, 'Top hat', door shape, latch....

Ive also added a larger and differnt design grate, and the ash draw to make it more useable(:

excuse the rust....I couldnt have it in my boot any longer:L

What do 'ya all thing(:? anyy ideas, improvements or heat coatings would be great(:

I really like that gj nice work, my fav bit is the fish tale hinges, looks like it should be in a hobbit home

i fancied doing something different to everyone else in the class:L should have it lit sometime in the next week for its trial run(: hopeing to convert it to run on waste oil aswell(:

Looks good boss, I like the square to round

 

[tab]

What material thickness did you use on the cones and chimney if you dont mind me asking?

 

[gj1994]

yee the square to round took alot of hammering and ahpeing to get it 'pass'able haha

about the thicknes.....The first cone wich will have most of the heat is 4mm i think:? but the chimney and second cone is 2mm(:

Still yet to light it... haha

Nice range of fabrication skills involved there. What's the bunch of banana exhaust pipes on the engine in the background?
