Built a cart for an old kettle

[chopsaw]

Pulled this 22" kettle out of the neighbors trash about 15 years ago . Never did much with it . They got it for a wedding present . Their first born is 35 so I figure it's at least that old . Maybe 34 years and 3 months anyway .


Main structure , lookin and thinkin ,



Wheels mounted



Test fit . Was to low had to raise the bowl up

Guess it'time to take it out back


Surrounded by Webers



Time for some heat


Still needs a few things , but after I saw how the lid fits or doesn't fit , I want to see how it does before I do much more . I was thinking about a stacker , but the stock lid leaks so bad I'm not sure what to do with it at this point .

Nice job..
I see you added hooks. That one will be low maintenance for sure.

That's really nice!
I like the idea of using expanded metal for the shelves!

I had all that stuff sitting around so only have money in the paint . We use the mesh on the job for security walls . Goes between layers of dry wall to keep people out , or in ( holding cells / rooms ) . I like the looks of the mesh .

I have a Weber thread going here and someone asked me to check the date code stamped into the top vent. Mine is M which means it's a 1990.
