[@jamesmcneil8093]

Thank you so much for making this post and plans free you’re the man!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Looks awesome! And getting snazzy with your edits, I like it.

[@42Fab]

Gotta have a little fun some times

[@toastrecon]

Dang, my friend. You're braver than I would be. No way you'd get me welded into a box. :-) Looks fun! I wish I had a yard for one of the kits, they look awesome.

[@saineyjarju3293]

great job I like it

[@certified-forklifter]

hey there, naomi wu send me here! I saw this thing on the instructables contest! good luck, great work!

[@jameski5oeb668]

Just saw your shirt and some other hints around that you're from Oklahoma. Enid is my home. Loved watching a bunch of your vids this afternoon. I'm a homer welder, but I may have to try the chiminea soon.

[@jameski5oeb668]

I just figured out about where you’re located, we went to Super Cao Nguyen via 36th from I 235. You are right in there close.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That firepit is wicked cool 42Fab

[@christofix]

Wow, thats beautiful. I love that design. You got great ideas my friend!

[@Goalsplus]

Pardon my lack of knowledge, what is the open bottom part for? Is it to let air come in from underneath? Just asking.

[@42Fab]

Firewood storage, fire goes in top hole

[@Goalsplus]

@@42Fab ahh, thanks very much.

[@SlapStuffTogether]

Really great looking, and looks fantastic in the space.

[@ManCrafting]

Holly crap. No way I’m inside that welding. Looks great though. So top is 🔥 bottom wood storage?

[@42Fab]

Exactly

[@blainepardoe4758]

Will a single 4 x 8 piece of 12 gauge do it or do I need more?

[@42Fab]

the 7' model comes out of 2 sheets

[@split141x]

Nice video! It would be sweet if you made a video were you went over how you price out jobs like this.

[@42Fab]

That's what I do on patreon for every project

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video 42fab

[@AdamRich1785]

Great build dude!

[@Weldingprobably]

I dig it

[@noahalso]

Do you sell weld kits for this size chiminea?

[@42Fab]

We do, it's the 82" model

[@endoskeleton99]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!! Love your videos man. Gives me lots of ideas and tips. Subscribed, and see you soon in Patreon. Cheers!

[@BigKeith510]

Great design I would love to make something similar

[@42Fab]

Machine AND Hand cutting plans are linked for FREE in the description, send me a picture!

[@sebbyajjbrones3238]

What steel grade and thickness did you use please? I've been told 0.7mm stainless. Would mild steel be ok to burn wood?

[@42Fab]

this is 12ga Hot Rolled. Burns wood just fine.

[@michaels1527]

Would cold rolled steel work just the same?

[@42Fab]

Yeah, would just rust faster

[@michaels1527]

@@42Fab thank you! im thinking about making one. Not sure what cost more hot or cold rolled but i want to look at my options and see whats most cost effective.

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

cool project

[@jeffweiland7147]

where can we get a copy of the .dxf file of the corner 7' tall chiminea?

[@42Fab]

It's included in the plans for the 4' model at 42fab.com

[@Thomaslarue15]

What temperature and speed were you using for this?

[@42Fab]

About 5% less than book for 12ga

[@my.luminaire]

Nice one. I want to make myself a BBC for the yard from raw steel sheets like COR-TEN. Do You have an idea how long a 3mm (1/4') steel can last in a continental climate unprotected from the elements?

[@42Fab]

A long time

[@lotoox7299]

As long as you make sure water can drain and doesn't collect somewhere in the structure, you should be fine.

[@jakepacheco4920]

What gauge steel did you use for this beast?

[@42Fab]

12 works fine

[@BradsWorkbench]

Love the impromptu ventilation 😂

[@42Fab]

a lot of planning went into making that suck as little as possible

[@garysinclair6490]

Can your plasma cutter do 1/4 inch Aluminum?

[@42Fab]

yeah, 1/2" of anything without much issue, 5/8" mild steel is the max I've needed to do, it did it

[@blainepardoe4758]

What gauge steel did you use?

[@42Fab]

12

[@cajunbear70]

For custom look make door cut out with logo

[@bartonrobinson4266]

That's a Big Chim, man that looks good but ya should'a put the little guy in there...dammm doors anyway..Making it work either way !!

[@eduardomarchezinfernandes6170]

what thickness of the plate did you use? congratulations 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@42Fab]

This one was 12ga. I wouldn't go any thinner

[@eduardomarchezinfernandes6170]

42Fab - Metal Fabrication & Signage 12 ga ? 12 mm

[@42Fab]

We use gauge, so yes 12 gauge. Approximately .1" or something like 2.5mm

[@eduardomarchezinfernandes6170]

42Fab - Metal Fabrication & Signage ok got it .... perfect ... thank you and congratulations for the products made.

[@fwflyer78]

Cool build! What brand of plasma table do you have?

[@42Fab]

It's a shop fabricobbled abomination

[@MadebyLaurent]

Nice one!

[@christianwood7432]

Do you sell that as a kit??

[@42Fab]

Indeed www.Weldityourselfkits.com

[@mahdiriazze3315]

Good luck

[@KayleeKerin]

Giving the HTP a workout with those welds!

[@42Fab]

It didn't bad an eye

[@AlAmantea]

Next up on 42 Fab... How I welded Tommy into a metal box...

[@griefy419]

Why not do it in 2 and fold it saves some welding and easier assembly

[@42Fab]

and then the corners don't match, not to mention the need for a hell of a bender

[@jasonbushis]

no offense, but Tommy is half your size... why didn't you make him crawl in there? :) Great design and fun video.

[@42Fab]

He's not the welder. He's learning though

[@yossiyaari3760]

Total claustrophobia moment
