I wasn't going to start this thread 'til I'd finished, but since my MIG is broken and I'll be making no progress for a few days I decided to post this now.
So, here's what i'm starting with...
And how it's currently sitting. And there's not much i can be getting on with until my welder is fixed..
Still to do: make the baffle along the bottom to carry the smoke... That's started, the end plate directly between the firebox and the flue is being welded in, the rest are removable. The black line on the large cylinder at the top of the frame leg is where I started welding it in. I also need to work out how to sort out the firebox door... The hinges are really tight and the seal around the door is terrible.
