    Waiting on hinges to weld in place with the strapping before finishing the cut. Hinges should be here Saturday.
    ?? I see a lathe in the background, Whats so special about the hinges that they could not make them in a class period?

    I would also make them with stainless pins to slow down the moisture binding effect we have here in the Midwest.

    Like I said in a previous post hats off to you for helping a Voc ed group out.

    We had a great metals shop when I went to high school. I learned a lot of stuff.

    It was a sad day when I bought the whole shop a few years later after they closed the department.

          More progress pics.

          Lid cut, hinges welded, baffle plate in place and partly welded in.











          Nice snug fit on the door. Did not try to twist, warp or go anywhere.

                      Yes, it is going to be heavy.

                            That's looking really good. I'm digging the angle iron in the center of the plate to be utilized as a grease drain.
