Jim has mentioned he's is in no big rush...which works great for me, because I'm slow!

Yeah thats what I said also and got the same response. Until it got close to the end and you got excited about the build. Then it was a race on if I could get it paid off before the paint dried!!

Im in for the ride and Jim will be as impressed as I am over the quality build you produce!

HaHa! Yep - I admit that the closer I get to finishing a build, the more excited I get to keep at it!

A quick update! Things are progressing slowly but surely.


So I got the square tubing frame for the bottom of the main body all welded. Jim wants a trap door in the floor for ash removal, so I went ahead and got that cut into the floor panel.

Next it was time to start tacking the back and side panels together with the bottom.

Jim also wants to line the inner surface of the grill with fire bricks. So I fabricated a box frame around the trap door.

Wanted to make sure it was about the right height to match the height of a fire brick.

Next time I'm in the shop, I'll probably be working on the front panel. It'll have a hinged door in it that swings down to allow full easy access to the fire, for adding fuel, poking the fire, or moving coals around. I'll post another update when I get that done.

That's it for now - more to come!
