Evening Chaps ![Big Grin Big Grin](http://www.metalworkingfun.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thought you maybe interested in a wee project I have just started , I got fed up with sorting out the shop so I decided to stick a few bits of tin together and build a coke forge ,its something I have been meaning to build for years now .
I have a ruff idea of what I want but for the most I am just winging it ,to suit materials at hand . I started by cutting up a bit 3/8 plate to be the bottom
of the hearth .

This done I could work out what I needed to make the stand , this is from recycled materials .

The black gear was an old battery change over stand I ruffly cut up and stuck in my van to get it home , it yielded enough 50 x 50 x 3 box to make the stand .

This was then promptly stuck together .

To form the stand .

Then I cut and welded the side onto the 3/8 plate to form the hearth .

Not as far along as I wanted to be , but its still progress .
Time for a curry and a few beers me thinks![5176 5176](http://www.metalworkingfun.com/images/smilies/5176.gif)
