Only time will tell. I'm hoping that the concrete pavers help as a barrier but well see. So far no issues with the first fire :). Thanks so much for watching.
It will definitely provide a barrier but the question is how much. Need to test that out more with the fires that we create but so far so good with the decking itself and I'll check the framing after a couple of fires.
Two things, although they were mentioned before: 1. Would a thinner side paneling on the inside (like the paver you used) be a good idea just to disseminate heat a bit more effectively? 2. In case you would roast something, it would be good to have pre-made dents in the side sheeting. Just to let the skewers rest :) +1 nice to learn some new skills, well done :)
Over 2' of space so that should give people plenty of space. If the metal gets too hot, that's why I built an extra big fire pit so I can always add a layer of brinks on the interior sidewalls and still have plenty of room for a sizable fire. Thanks for watching and lookin out.
My concern is that the sidewalks are going to get extremely hot and might burn you. Stone bricks would’ve been a better alternative for the outside walls and maybe have a smaller steel square pit in the middle just my opinion
That is a good point and I did think about that ahead of time. That's why I built an extra big fire pit so if I feel the steel is getting too hot I can always ad a layer of brinks on the interior sidewalls and still have plenty of room for a sizable fire. Thanks for watching and lookin out.
I probably said Tig at a curtain point just out of habit but I specifically referred to this type of welding as gas welding. Thats what Detroit Torch calls it. Thanks for watching.
I know that you wanted to show how to cut with a torch but it would be much smotther and faster to cut it with a angle grinder. Nevertheless great work. I would cover the outside of the fire pit with some temperature resistant paint, just to avoid rust.
I definitely tried the grinder at times but it was extremely slow to cut since this metal is so thick. With practice I think i can probably get pretty good at cutting this metal fast with the Detroit Torch. And thanks for the suggestion on the exterior. I'm trying to figure out what I should do. Has a fun rustic look or cover it with a treatment. Would you want to see a video on how it is finished if I do apply a coating to it?
The two gas bottles were giving me some agita. An O2 bottle is around 2,000 psi when full. Which if toppled, and stop valve gets snapped off, things get real exciting, real fast. The Acetylene bottle is around 250 psi. Which may not produce a Mach speed missile like the O2 bottle, but Acetylene is just nasty stuff. This is why the bottle should have had screw on caps to protect during transport. A proper welding cart also protect the stop valves when in use. I like you man, just want you to keep you around making more great vids. This had to really fun to make this video. ruclips.net/video/TZCLFY0wb7k/видео.htmlsi=f9PZ5UGMyZQ0ZijJ
Thanks for looking out buddy. Safety first and you are correct. Both bottles did come with a protective screw on cap. I will need to get a cart for transport though. Thanks so much for watching.
The propane torch to light the fire was the crowning touch! Great job, Brent! 🔥
I thought that was a FUN way to the the fire going for sure :) Thanks so much for watching!
Any concerns about the fire pit walls burning the deck? Typically stuff like this is raised a bit to allow airflow.

Could use a layer of pavers around the inside perimeter to cut down on the heat transfer.
Do those pavers really prevent the heat from reaching the deck framing materials?

Dang Brent. You can weld also?! Good job and I hope you can enjoy that space for years to come. Thanks
Now I can thanks to the Detroit Torch haha :) Thanks for watching Roger and the kind words.

Nice project Sir, you've given me the drive to get to welding, been putting it off/dreading the prospect of, until this video.
Woohoo! LOVE Hearing that buddy and thanks so much for all the support.
Great video as always! Just be careful with those home depot pavers. Ive seen non-fire rated blocks literally explode from heat. Cheers man!
Interesting tool. It might serve my welding needs as I can't run 220 in my shop right now. Gonna go look it up.
Perfect idea for those situations, myself included in that predicament as well.
Cool video! Being positioned so close to the seating people are going to burn themselves on it though

I know this is a bit nitpicky, but you stated that it could do TIG welding, but tig needs a specific setup. I think you meant oxy acetylene welding.

🙏👏👍💪
Thanks so much for always being so supportive Alain.
This video should have a “don’t try this at home” disclaimer so people don’t burn their deck/house down
Are you worried about something burning down for some reason? So far so good over here. Thanks for watching.
People that need such a warning will ignore, and nobody else needs it.
"Abrade the surface as smoothly as possible" 🤔oxymoron much?😂
