How to Make an Outdoor Steel Fire Pit | Modern Builds | EP. 73

Check out the full Wrangler RIGGS range of workwear, including their line of Cool Vantage jeans and work pants to help keep you cool while working in the heat: http://bit.ly/2xG4hy0

Today on Modern Builds, I’ll show you how to make a custom steel fire pit with limited welding tools. All you need is a welder (obviously) and an angle grinder. I attached a 16″ by 16″ concrete paver for a simple concrete base to counterweight the otherwise top heavy bowl. This is only my second welding project and is really a simple DIY project for people new to welding. I plan on letting the pit sit outside for a while to get a nice patina, then adding a clear coat to protect it. If you plan on building this project be sure to check out the written article on my website for free plans and step by step instructions. Thanks for watching!

  • Great work. Welding looks fun. A coat of matt black chimenea/bbq paint and this would look even better

  • You must me mental cutting toward a power lead and this is a how to video safety man did that not cross your mind

  • I like it! Just looking for a starter project. But! No Paint?

  • Anybody have the blueprints/dimensions for this fire pit? Thanks a lot!

  • Why on gods name would you make this in 16 ga. It will be warped in one use. At lease go to 3/16. Or tell them to make at least the base of it in 3/16 or 1/4” and you want a mig welder. Why would you say mig rig with argon? Are you welding aluminum? You can use flux core or co or 25/75 mix.

  • Soo only one dimension is misisng...how tall are the sides. base is 10" top is 30", whats the height?
