Some people are commenting that they already sell them at the store but there's a satisfaction to using something that you made with your own hands. That's just my opinion
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! The work, the design, the way it is presented and especially the end when the piece is thrown down on the ground and a fire is created. Respect!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching to the end - most people get bored by then and don't get to see that bit. They don't know what they are missing!
Cheers, I put this of for a while because I didn't have any flat wide enough, it's a good solution if you have time and pipe to spare and don't need the flat to be very flat!
I gave this guy a thums up because we all start out this way. On a wheel there are bolt holes to use as referance points for the legs. Remember, center lines on the wheel and center lines on the pipes for easy set up. Also, once all legs are welded, a simple measurement from ground to highest point wiill give you your angle for all of them👍 love the video
Доброго времени суток, всем! Извините не могу я всё - это досмотреть. Всё можно сделать на много проще, но "мастер" не ищет лёгких путей. Ребята Вы "уникумы", удачи Вам! Good day, everyone! Sorry I can't finish this. Everything can be done much easier, but the "master" is not looking for easy ways. You guys are unique, good luck!
Really pleasing to watch your build, and the layout techniques you used. I have a 24 inch wheel I plan to make into a fire ring; perfect size for a patio fire pit with no other purpose than to just watch a fire burn in the evening. As some others have observed, there is much satisfaction to be derived from designing and building a project yourself. I often gain new ideas and construction skills just from watching what someone else has done. Your fire pit is well built and will last a lifetime plus. Good job. Regards - John
Cheers John! I know the layout seems excessive to some people but it is the way I generally do things, usually it makes it easier. If you put a tray of sand and/or firebricks under the pit it should help your patio not catch on fire.
while it's cheaper than the hardware store my local steel place is too expensive so I avoid going there. Kinda wanted to see how much work it would be to turn pipe back into plate anyway.
Absolutely awesome craftsmanship!!!!! Don’t know if your is the standard 22.5” wheel or not... check and see... if it is... the standard Weber kettle grill cooking grate fits perfect on these for cooking!!!! Cooks amazing 🥩’s!
I'll have to measure it, put a camp stove in it once but have a heat beads BBQ for cooking, it's not bad but I want to make a longer rectangular charcoal grill some day, maybe that fits on/in a tabletop
Thanks! I try to keep it kid friendly, apart from the subject matter occasionally but the title and thumbnail should be enough to let parents decide if it is suitable or not.
The best piano player in the world can't tell you how to play a piano and a welder can't tell you how to weld. You have to get under a hood to learn how to weld.
@@lapislignum tack on a couple legs and a few pieces a rebar so the wood doesn't fall through the hole and your done. Extremely simple..... but opinions may vary. Lol
Man this is fantastic...that's the best fire pit I've seen! You could fix a grate to lay on top of it and cook on it with wood or charcoal when you get done cooking lay the grate to the side and you have a fire pit with a fire already going to sit around drink some cold beer and talk to your friends and family!! You done an amazing job you're truly blessed with a great talent! Thanks for sharing that with us keep up the good work and may God bless you and your family and friends!! How anybody could give this a thumbs down I'll never understand must be some miserable people with no appreciation for life in general! Like I said you done an amazing job such a great idea!!!!
Thanks for the kind words, I have cooked in it with a camp stove but for proper cooling I'd want something a bit smaller, higher and rectangular. Really need to fire this up again before summer comes around.
Fire pit from a old rim is a awesome idea. This pit will out last any other pits made from plates. Just a small tip, turn up your amps on your welder until you get good penetration it to the steel
thanks! yes this should last a long time. I think the welder was turned up as high as it goes, maybe not quite as it is a 15 amp machine plugged into a 10 amp socket :)
Good job. I too used an old truck wheel. Only difference was I was lazy and sat the wheel on a tapered metal bucket turned upside down. Left all the other holes open for air movement.
That's a good solution, I think I put bricks under the big hole a few times but the stud holes didn't let enough air in, leaving the big hole open let too much stuff fall through and not burn.
CAD may look like overkill for what it ended up being but it didn't take too long and having a template to follow made it very easy to cut all the rebar
Thanks! The magic of editing makes everything fast, this took ages even with welding in the darkest hours of the night, still would have been a full day or so of work in one go though.
I know a guy that made a fire pit out of an entire truck. He was trying to weld a trailer hitch to the frame, but he ended up with a fire pit instead.....
on some grinders just holding the guard against the benchtop will work, on this grinder the arbor sticks out past the guard so it had to be screwed to the formply scrap, gives better stability too!
If you put a lid on it correctly and hinge with a vent pipe, you could cook on it. Make sure you burn several fires real hot in it before cooking in it. Wash out real good before first cooking.
Our daughter tripped and feel next to a wheel which was being used as a fire pit. She had a severe burn on her leg. Use stone it’s still hot but not like a branding Iron.
Sorry to hear that, I'm pretty paranoid with kids around fire but there's only so much you can do. Was thinking of welding a "handrail" to the lip which would be a bit less hot if people fell on it.
thanks! I need to do some more welding, don't really have any projects requiring it at the moment though, and no metal bits asking to be made into something.
Thanks for reply 👍 I started to build a 100 gallon smoker 3/4 into the job and have salvaged all my materials. The local scrap yard is drop off or take what you need. I'll be looking for rims soon. I showed my wife your pit and she said Oh yes please!!! Thanks for taking the time to post your videos 🇨🇦🥓🍻.
I've seen some very nice smoker builds, don't know enough about it to make one myself but have vague plans to make a charcoal burner that can sit on/near a table, probably in the Argentinian style. Good luck with it, and thanks for the sub!
Thanks! Buying one is a much more sensible option, they are really cheap here if you buy one when summer is coming, just depends on how good you are at planning ahead.
Nice job I just built a firepit now have the same problem trying to get the bottom leg angles ,think I might try your idea with the grinder ,thanks for the idea
Thanks! My stick welding is average at best but this had held together pretty well. I didn't have any expanded metal or mesh but the rebar suits it better IMHO and will last as long as the rest of it. Thanks for watching!
That welding is some of the crapiest welding ive seen . You have to get out more when it comes to welding haha. In the welding scene they call that grape welds.
@@lewandlo there's a welding scene? watch my rocket stove video if you want to see more questionable welding, I think I manage to do some bits better and some bits worse than in this video, need to do some drills when the weather is less flammable.
Just a tip but it's one amp for every thousand of an inch. I personally like to use a couple extra amps 5 max depending on the base metal. In the video amps was way way short and you move way to fast.
I just fiddle the dial until it seems right, not sure the numbers the dial points to on my ebay welder actually correspond to anything. All of the welding footage was sped up 5 times or so.
@@lapislignum You really need to practice getting the arc right. I agree with the comment about, turn it up a bit and try to watch the weld pool. Your welding needs work but that was 4 years ago so maybe you have improved. I liked your trick with the grinder to get the flat base of the legs.
@@lapislignum It's really worth it. You'll feel great when you notice the hard work paying off. Watch a bunch of youtube from weldingtipsandtricks. There are so many helpful tips. Good luck with it.
I'm a big fan of Jody, just need to put in the burn time, I have more steel than I thought so should pick some nice/rubbish bits to clean up and weld on.
Welding on the legs was really bad. Using MMA Welding Vertical travelling up would have gave a weld to penetrate the joining metals, that down motion that you did left a light skin full of porosity. The job did turn out nice, try using MIG for that style of welding
I'm not claiming to be a good welder but the legs have held on great, the grate has popped a few welds because they aren't great and it gets very hot there and expands and contracts a lot. I have a MIG but bought this inverter as I was sick of renting a gas bottle that I almost never used, have a roll of fluxcore wire but I don't like using it (my welds with fluxcore look even worse than my stick welds) and it's a (heavy) transformer machine so I can't be bothered lugging it out of where it lives. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
No... I think I’ll take pipe, cut it into little pieces, instead finding some scrap plate. Then I will double check it on a CAD program. I think that’s more expensive in labor then 20 store bought fire pits.
Long way around, give those rocks luv, there you go. I'll start the fire you get us a couple. And you can store the rocks in the wheel for a move. but us simple minded folk would just get new rocks.
Some people are commenting that they already sell them at the store but there's a satisfaction to using something that you made with your own hands. That's just my opinion
What a bunch of negative asshats.
The ones from the store are 20ga ungraded pot metal that'll wear through in under a season.
Mine as well mate.
Grand opinion I say...

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching to the end - most people get bored by then and don't get to see that bit. They don't know what they are missing!
Very ingenious how you used the pipe as flat stock! I would have never thought of that.
Cheers, I put this of for a while because I didn't have any flat wide enough, it's a good solution if you have time and pipe to spare and don't need the flat to be very flat!
The first clip when you flipped it over, i legit said out loud "done"

Hey, I resemble that comment! I was going for overkill on this, so thanks I guess. Thanks for watching too!
Honestly I thought it was gonna be a joke when he turned the rim over like..”there you go fire pit “🤣🙈
that would be way too easy :)
SPE
Right?!! But I’ve seen videos like that 🤣
Holy Hell!!! I’d soooo go buy some plate plate!!!😂😂😂! Lots of extra time in tearing apart the pipe to flatten it!!

As I recall, the key to becoming a good welder is: Practice, practice, fire pit... (Nice one guy. Thanks!)
The best piano player in the world can't tell you how to play a piano and a welder can't tell you how to weld. You have to get under a hood to learn how to weld.
This was an excellent example of taking a simple project and making it extremely complicated. Well done!

@@lapislignum tack on a couple legs and a few pieces a rebar so the wood doesn't fall through the hole and your done. Extremely simple..... but opinions may vary. Lol
That's alot of extra effort..I tossed a rim on the ground and It works fine
I did that before, this works better
Me too! Seems like a lot of extra work.
Same here dude. Works fine as is
Bet you didn't get money for millions of views though.
what materialy should i put inside, if any?

Really cool!! Thank you for the no music through out the entire video! The music really kills me.
The soothing sound of grinding and banging stuff is music enough, thanks for watching!

Amazing I haven’t even reached halfway through the video yet 🤣👌🏾
Cheers! hope you liked the second half. And watched the rest of it :)
I to see all the people with talent is very good keep the good work
I'll try to, thanks!
Here i watch the whole video thinking i was watching NASA ....should have read the headline first of FIRE PIT 🔥....
I'm not very good at drawing and don't like measuring things. You use the tools you have I guess.
Good job bro! I want one now!
Cuts flat pieces from pipe, then lays some CAD on us. Just WOW!
Possibly overall, I'm not very good at drawing and try to avoid measuring when I can.
Good job.
Thanks!
I've been trying to think of projects for all those truck wheels out there.
Very good outcome mate, why would anyone give a thumbs down, I'de copy that design any day!
Thanks! That's TH-cam I guess, it is what it is.
Fire pit from a old rim is a awesome idea. This pit will out last any other pits made from plates.

And
Pretty cool design !! I love the bottom design..
Thanks! I tried a few patterns but that one was the best and simplest.
At first u thought u was making template for CNC Machine :)
CAD may look like overkill for what it ended up being but it didn't take too long and having a template to follow made it very easy to cut all the rebar
Good Bedford Rim.
It (and three others) had already donated the locking ring to another wheel, I grabbed them from a scrap pile.
Good greif!
Talk about to much time on your hands. His skills are nice.
Rim+ 4 legs = done
I used the open center type truck wheels and throwed 4 firebricks under the bottom edge so it could breath and it works great.
Lots of ways to do it. I still need to pick up the nails from the last fire I had in mine.
I wish my projects would go that fast! Well done!
Thanks! The magic of editing makes everything fast, this took ages even with welding in the darkest hours of the night, still would have been a full day or so of work in one go though.

My next fire pit will be my washing machine drum when the washe stops working.
I know a guy that made a fire pit out of an entire truck.
He was trying to weld a trailer hitch to the frame, but he ended up with a fire pit instead.....
Hahahahha
I like it
Love the angle grinder height adjustment jig. Might have to make one for myself.
on some grinders just holding the guard against the benchtop will work, on this grinder the arbor sticks out past the guard so it had to be screwed to the formply scrap, gives better stability too!
yeah sometimes I clamp the guard to the bench and move the work piece into it. this works well for cutting rings from large cylinders.
Thank you please post more project
Good video
Cool fire pit.
Thanks!
If you put a lid on it correctly and hinge with a vent pipe, you could cook on it. Make sure you burn several fires real hot in it before cooking in it. Wash out real good before first cooking.
I cooked with a camp stove in it once, got too hot. A hotplate on top that swung out of the way to put more wood in would be simple.
Good morning
Good afternoon!
Nice job from recycled metal parts. Something useful and creative.
Cheers, most of the bits just went where it made sense but I spent a bit of time working out the grate.
Good idea
,amigo the proyect.very good sorry the weldin very bad.😁 .good day.
Thanks! Don't be sorry I know the welding is garbage, it's more than good enough for this though. Thanks for watching!

Kids will be kids. Your responsible for watching them around fire. Stone pits not portable. Big disadvantage for me.
But that also was a genius move with the wooden template.
Cheers, I usually do that I used of lining stuff up by eye, makes the welding easier for a hack Ike me too.

You're welcome, thanks for watching!
I could have done the same thing but with half the work you put in it
Could have? Lol. Could you have done the same thing but with twice as much work though?
Who else looked away for a second when he began to weld
Mad skills. Like it. Thanks.
Thanks! you're most welcome.
That's pretty cool.
Very creative, you given me some good ideas of the fire pit.
Thank you
They’re the best fire places I’ve ever used 👌🏽
Pretty cool if you really need to overcomplicate things.
Cheers, I do need to sometimes.
Lol right
Talk about having some time to waste.
Wow, talk about dedication...
Purchase a small piece of copper plate or flat bar and use it as a backing to weld up small holes, it's faster than making those plugs.
True, not sure my welding would be up to it though, i would have tried it on other things but copper is soooo expensive.
HEAVY Duty 🔥 pit!!
muy buenas idea y sin mucho dinero.
I watched it as a fiction movie. So entertaining! Not everything has to be practical, just enjoy!
Glad you liked it, my goal was to entertain more than inform. Thanks for watching!

Haha thanks, I think most People don't watch the end :)
No, people definitely will watch till end. Because they will eagerness to see the fire pit in action. I like the centre grill design though.

Thanks! You can use a marker instead of the grinder then cut to the line if it works better, this way works well on wood legs too.
Loved it. I'm going to make one now
Very nice work. Ps. Metal comes in flat pieces also. May save a lot of work. But we work with what we have.

Long way around, give those rocks luv, there you go. I'll start the fire you get us a couple. And you can store the rocks in the wheel for a move. but us simple minded folk would just get new rocks.
It is amazing what someone can do with a truck wheel and a powerarc welder.
Could have eyeballed everything and still come out the same. But appreciate his diligence and effort to make it perfect.
Possibly, I do that on some projects. Cheers!
