DDave's Reverse Flow Build

And we're off.
The instructor figures in four class periods it will be down to bare metal.
I don't think I mentioned it in this thread but this build will be a class project for our local high school metal shop. I will pay for the materials and the students, under the supervision of the instructor, will to the build. This summer they will enter it in the county fair.
I am predicting they will do well at the fair. It will be very unique and different than what the judges usually see.
And it just might smell like hickory smoked pork fat by then also.Last edited by DDave; 04-18-2018, 03:05 PM.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow

The end with the feet would make a nice fire pit for someone.

The thickness according to my calipers (thumb and forefinger ) appear to be 1/4". The shop teacher was guessing 1/4" as well. It's a heavy sum bitch, that's for sure.Last edited by DDave; 02-17-2018, 11:37 AM.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow

Busy day at work today. I didn't have a chance to go down to the metal shop and check on things until after school. Looks like they've been making progress. Also looks like they've been hitting it with a torch.
They uncovered this plate. I thought it was interesting.
It's an old sum bitch.
And 1/4" apparently.Last edited by DDave; 04-15-2018, 02:09 PM.CUHS Metal Shop Reverse Flow
