Arghh! I'm swimming in kindling. Cart and wheelbarrow full. I had to fill two large boxes and a bin to empty the cart. Need my wheelbarrow back, but the sticks in there are green.

its actually just a splitting wedge. i narrowed the edge and then took a grinder and ground off the hardened steel down to "soft" steel where i was going to make the weld. then i just welded a peice of plate to the wedge and then i piece of tube stock to the plate.

It is the end of a 500gal propane tank. A girl two towns up from us cuts them into what ever design you want with a plasma cutter. I got ours cut to ocean waves and at a big discount.

I think she gets From $900.00 to $1200.00 for them depending on the work.

That's pretty cool, but way out of my price range for an outdoor fire pit.
