New Fireplace Tool

[jeffesonm]

I got tired of trying to separate coals from ash with the shovel so I made myself a little scooper/sifter. All the parts were from the garage... an old fireplace brush, some expanded steel salvaged from some old project and a radiator cover I cut up and bent. Used tin snips, angle grinder and the 110v MIG welder I bought off CL not long ago. I'm just figuring out how to weld but it's really nice to have around when you need it.

Functional and you made it your self. Can't beat that.

Interesting idea, too.

That looks nice. I still need to fab one up in the black smith shop but have not been smashing hot steel for a while now. Dog gone life getting in the way of my fun projects.
