Nice But Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 After picking the drums up in February I have finally got round to making a start on building them. Bought some wheels and a top vent fron Colin Turner for one then just going basic on the other. Welding lessons next week from a mate to glue the basket and grills together.... got to get the drums burned out at the weekend... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Interested. Like that you are starting from new approach and learning. That is a long wait to get started, you have your plans drawn up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've a brand new unpainted drum sitting in the shed, I've done the two air intakes and that's about it for the moment, no time to spare I'm afraid....so I know how you're feeling matey.

It has taken a while to plan it, changed my mind several times.... do I just buy or build was the main one, went for the build option. Steel sourced and basket is formed just need to weld it, grill racks are formed again got to weld them... mate is giving me some mig lessons on thursday so we should be good for a rib fest on Saturday once they are seasoned.... Friday night when I'm back from sea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
