Recycled Wheel Fire Pit Welding Project | MIG Monday

Did you like this video? SUBSCRIBE for new videos every Monday and Friday: https://goo.gl/FRdNss This Week we will be showing you how to create a quick fire pit out of some old car rims. This is a great project for the beginner welder or anyone who is looking for an easy summer project. Here is what you will need: 3 Car Rims - We used (1) 16" (1) 15" and (1) 14", but you can use any combination that you want. You will just have to adjust some of your welding for fit up. It is also a good idea to have the lower portion of the pit a smaller size, so the top piece can fit over top of it (as it won't be welded) Some Scrap Sheet Metal - It should be at least as large as the inside diameter of your smallest wheel. You will be cutting and welding this as the ash catcher. Plasma Cutter FCAW Welder Marking Tool Once you have all your equipment, it's a relatively squick and simple project.
