contest entry, portable fire pit

[davec107]

Made this for a buddy who wanted a fire pit he could take apart for camping. Cut on a Torchmate 2x2, all parts interlock together, no welding required.... all notches and tabs are sized for 10ga. I used P/O mild steel.....Dave

 

[LECS Mark]

The interlocking idea is awesome. What did you use to accurately bend each of the legs?

 

[davec107]

Thanks, I bent the first one by hand to get the correct angle. I then used that one for comparison to bend the rest. Bent them in my home brew harbor freight press converted into my break...Dave

 

[Dan Turner]

That is awesome, I have been trying to design something similar. great job!

Awesome work! I tried to down load the file and did not see it when I tried to open?

Nice! Always like to see cool projects from the mighty 2x2. I might be biased....

Awesome work! I tried to down load the file and did not see it when I tried to open?

I tried also, it did not show up when I tried to open it

 

[davec107]

My apologies, I will fix it when I get to a real computer in the next day or two...Dave

 

[davec107]

Ok, I fixed the dxf download, it should work now. Dave

 

[Dillon Garcia]

How big are the sides and the legs of the fire pit when I downloaded it all the pieces were under five inches

 

[davec107]

Sides are 23x15
Legs are 3.717x17.554
Bottom 15.732x14.125
All measurements in inches...
