How to build a DIY Steel Fire Pit. I welded this fire pit together from ⅛” steel plate and ⅛” square tube. It was my first time welding a full metal project and cutting this much steel at once. I learned a lot about metalworking and came out with a sweet portable DIY fire pit. It’s perfect for taking to tailgate or just a backyard firepit that won’t take up a permanent spot. #firepit #metalworking #welding

So did you put that metal cutting blade into a normal circular saw? not a metal cutting circular saw?

@jrnixon2562 4 года назад

Exactly what I'm looking to build. Question: is there anything you can spray, coat, or imbue the metal with that would 1) protect it from the elements, and 2) still be food-safe (for searing steaks and such!)?

@ryanWildflower 4 года назад

Adding some carry handles when its “hot” would be a nice value add.

@jake-mv5oi 2 года назад

The Titanium 125 at harbor freight is a good entry level machine at $180-200.

@krigdon93 2 года назад

My entry level is a amico 160 stick/ tig. $150 and so far so good. Burn 3/32 7018’s and 1/16 6013’s and 3/32 309’s. Rarely use 1/8 as I don’t typically work with over 1/4” steel

@piercemckinney6907 2 года назад

@workshop_edits 5 лет назад

I really dig this. It's so simple in the cuts but the final piece has a nice modern complexity to it. I'm very very interested in making something like this and actually have the equipment but am hesitant to pull the trigger not knowing how it might stand up to the elements. I'd love if it you'd post an end of summer instagram update to show how it held up...maybe? Cheers brad.

@Fixthisbuildthat 5 лет назад

If you finished it with a high temp paint it would probably hold up nicely

I like it. I do a lot of traveling for work and it’s good throw down grilled. I would add horse shoes as handles. I’ve built some before but lil bigger and heavy. That style is perfect no stack required Perfect for grilling. Awesome job brother

You should really try to use a bandsaw to cut metal. It works really well. But you also have to learn how to use it a little. It works like a charm

I build many fire pits and I do like yours for the simple design, one thing try not to use 1/4 inch round stock it will warp on you and will burn thru sooner than you think, use 3/8 round , 3/8 square or rebar for you fire grate , they will last much longer.

@Brian-mc4pd 4 года назад

When welding the sides of the pit, does it matter if you weld on the inside or the outside? I’ve watched several videos and it is split down the middle - some weld on outside and some weld on inside. Does it matter or is it for looks?

@jeremyspecce 5 лет назад

Nice work as usual, vert stylish and modern looking fire pit. The way the legs are sort of an inverted shape of the bowl makes me wonder if it could be made in 2 pieces that nest somehow for storage. Not sure how but it would be cool. Also, the chop saw, was that a slow speed saw intended for a metal blade or a high speed saw intended for an abrasive wheel? I know April had tried that blade on a saw meant for abrasive wheels and had a problem. I have an abrasive saw that i would LOVE to swap to a metal blade.

@Fixthisbuildthat 5 лет назад

That blade has to be used on a slow speed saw. 1800 RPM or less

@plywoodcarjohnson5412 3 года назад

Dang it!! Very impressive! Do a project without welding! Using screws nuts and bolts and a drill and an angle grinder. I sure could use some tips on joints. (Not weed). I realised with profiles u can make holes and put metal rods through. Or even wood. A bookshelf or shoestand maybe? Or why not a workbench or an A frame as a roof for a workshelter, portable maybe?

To get some cleaner welds, do a little better prep grinding off the mill scale about an inch or 2 away from your weld. Will help the clean up process

@blackwateroutdoors7364 5 лет назад
