    Thank you for the kind words, I apologize for not making any progress lately but work has kept me beyond busy as well as traveling around a good bit.  I'll post more updates within a week if all goes well!

    My 60 Gallon Attempt at a RF

    Did a bit more today. Got my RF plate welded in, it's 1/4in plate.  Also put in a 1in drain with a ball valve underneath. I made some angle iron rack mounts as well.  Ended up coming out to be a 38x19 cooking rack.  I can always add additional storage to either end for more food but for now...

    My 60 Gallon Attempt at a RF

    Made a bit more progress today.  Got my sheet of 1/4 delivered and enough expanded to do the cooking racks.  I cut the firebox out by hand with the plasma but next time around I'll be having them pre-cut on the table for speed of assembly!  Then I dropped a side on my shin and had to do some...
