Re: Fire Pits
Sorry, not my design so it's not for sale, but if you go to plasmaspider and search for fire pits, you'll find the post from thissideup where the original fire pit .dxf came from. If I remember right, there might be a charge to download files from the website. I've been there long enough to have for...

Re: suggestions from experienced shop owners
Someone will call and tell you that if you give them a good price on this job, there'll be plenty of work to follow. Don't believe it for a minute! Your standard response should be...pay the regular rate this time and when the plenty of work follows, then we'll talk good price. This is probably the...

Re: Band Saw or Chop Saw
All are good options depending on your budget and needs. 1. A Chop Saw is fairly inexpensive, with cheap blade replacement and will cut almost anything.

Re: Fire Pits
Thanks everybody. I didn't sell any of these, they were all gifts. There are a couple more CAD designs, but the last one actually made was the Texas A&M pit. They were fun projects, a good diversion from the regular day to day repair work. Sorry for the low budget cell phone pictures, but I'm no...

Fire Pits
Hello Everybody! This is my first post here, and these are some fire pits I built for Christmas presents this past December. The idea came from thissideup on plasmaspider. A little redrawing and some new graphics, some cutting and welding, some paint and <poof> gifts taken care of. IMG_20131216_1659...

Re: SolidWorks
I've been using SolidWorks for about four years now, and it is an invaluable tool. Designing something and working out most of the 'kinks' before you ever start cutting metal saves a lot of time and wasted material. Unfortunately, it is expensive (starting cost is around $5000).
