You obviously do high quality work. As a Santa Maria / Argentine grill owner <<<--- look there I am familiar in what it takes to make an amazing grill.

The movable divider is probably the best option. You might cook for yourself or you might cook for a whole party. It is nice to have the options.

Holy Moly Robert!
Is there anything that you can’t do?
To be able to fabricate on the fly is a special gift!

Your as talented as you are generous Robert, looks like a piece of art.

Dang buddy! That is a sweet looking build.

It came out well Jim, thank you. with the advent of some nice tools as recommended by @civilsmoker and some practice, the precision on this was the best to date.

Wow Very Cool, Robert. Who ever it is better post up some cooks on it!

It is unique Cliff and I have a feeling we will be seeing a thread in the very near future

That is one fine looking piece of equipment.

Thanks so much Chris. I try to do each one different one so they are all unique.

One day I’ll add a Santa Maria to my tool kit! That thing is beautiful.

The SM is a great concept Jeff. I like the hybrid version over the traditional cable operated version. Seems as though the cables are always problematic, even on the $3000 unit I bought several years ago.

Craftsmanship at its finest! I cannot wait to see the first cook on functional art!

Thanks Jed!! I'm thinking we will get to see a cook on it pretty darned soon. At least I'm hoping. Not sure yet what that might be but I'm betting it'll be good

Very nice fabrication! Will version 3 have additional features?

Thank you!! Not sure what V3.0 will incorporate but one thing I know it'll come with is a pretty big check to cover expenses There's a LOT of steel in this thing. I'd like to think it'll have some different features so they will all continue to e unique.

WOW! That is something! What a talent you have. He is lucky to be receiving something made with such a high level of craft. And I am sure it will get the kind of use and care you hope for it!

Thank you for the kind words Kimberly. I'd be more inclined to cal this a skill versus a talent. A talent is something you're born with whereas a skill is something you develop over time. I was not born with this ability I've no doubt though it will be enjoyed for years to come being that it's built like a battle tank.

A first rate fab job Robert, you know someone will be thrilled and get a lot of great cooks in on that baby, nice work! RAY

 

[GaryHibbert]

That Santa Maria grill you fabricate is a a great example thing of beauty and functionality. I'd sure be proud to own it. My only question would be: how do you adjust the grill height during a cook.
