We give a second life to old, old things. With our own hands we collect the barbecue from the drum from the washing machine. The product will turn out aesthetic and almost eternal. The basis for this craft can be found in the scrap metal collection points or removed from a long-lived household washing machine.
Why exactly the drum from the washing machine? Stainless steel is strong, heat resistant and durable. This is great material for our task. In addition, stainless steel does not oxidize in the open air and under the influence of aggressive factors.
To work, you will need:
- drum from the washing machine;
- grinder for cutting a drum;
- spot welding machine;
- small things in the form of bolts and nuts.
The process of making brazier from a washing drum
First of all, we cut off the narrowing part with the hole with the grinder, which will serve as a stand for the barbecue. Saw the resulting part, resembling a bagel, and the drum itself exactly in half. Next, we choose a way to connect the future home for barbecue.
The first option is spot welding. Fast, easy, reliable. The second is fastening with nuts and bolts. The advantage of this method is that the brazier will turn out to be collapsible, compact and convenient for transportation. In the selected way, we connect the legs to the body. We bend the edges of the case in places that interfere with their installation. Corrosion-free barbecue from the trash is ready.
Summarize the work done
Almost without much effort, we put together a useful and enjoyable to use crafts. Brazier width successfully corresponds to the length of skewers. The fire plays beautifully by the reflections through the mesh holes of the drum. Gather a company of friends and family. At the barbecue everyone will not only be full and satisfied, but also pleasantly surprised by such a creation.
