    this is my collapsible fire pit that I am selling at the moment. I am very happy with it and thought I would show it off since the inspiration came from this forum. DSCF5123.JPG

    Collapsible fire pits are a great idea! I'm sure getting that slot mechanism just right took a few prototypes and some brain power. Very cool!

    That is awesome! I was trying to make a fire pit in class I like the way it locks together with the tabs on the side that is a good design.

    Hey Chad. New to the forum. Do you have a picture of one of these finished? I have a 4800 series and I'm really interested in making these for gifts. Thanks.
