Built an ugly coal forge from a discarded Subaru brake rotor and my 15 yr old lawnmower (plus a few pipes that I actually bought)- powered with the heat gun that I salvaged from an old job where the lab flooded (I use it for drying clay)
1) if you thought that hard braking on the highway would warp a rotor, try welding something onto it. B) I love projects where I get to use half of the tools that I own. III) I would be very surprised if there is a worse welder out there than me- though, in my defense, welding to cast iron isn't a beginner's project.
1/4" plate for a grate. Reusing bolts from the lawnmower
Trusty old mower served well for a long time, and hadn't seen cover from the sky in 13+ years
