[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 1062249, member: 17303"] Some chilly nights have motivated me to get moving on this project. Here is how I marked the 5/8" plate for the end of the burn chamber that will be welded to a 20'" pipe that connects the burn chamber to what I call the "outer heat jacket". I hope the pictures help. Since I will be cutting the 5/8" plate freehand with a torch, I score my marks with a 1/32" cut-off wheel. This helps a lot. Believe me. [url=http://s1179.photobucket.com/user/ohiosteve1/media/owb2017_zps06c3336f.jpg.html][img]http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/ohiosteve1/owb2017_zps06c3336f.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://s1179.photobucket.com/user/ohiosteve1/media/owb2037_zpse973acd8.jpg.html][img]http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/ohiosteve1/owb2037_zpse973acd8.jpg[/img][/url] I welded this piece inside and out. The piece of pipe in front of me is a scrap of 20" thick wall well casing that will connect the burn chamber to the outer jacket. What will be the door is sitting on top of it, it is the leftover piece of 5/8".
