Hi Rob , coming along nicely Drool, I do like to see a robust job getting done Big Grin, not like the S***E on sale new everywhere these days,there would only be the odd tack weld on the finished job.
I dont think yours will come to much harm if it takes a knock Rotfl

A tad more done yesterday ,I got the hole cut into the hearth for the fire pot .After laying out I drilled out the corners with a hole saw ,this is so I would have rad corners, it also gave me a chance to try out the slow air drill John DB gave me ,one of his boot sale finds. It worked a charm.

Next joined the holes with the oxy torch .
