Welding rod oven parts list and construction details
1. (1 ) 4’ X 8’ sheet hardy fiber board
2. (6) 1 X 4 X 8’ pine boards
3. (4) 2 X 2 X 8’ Pine boards
4. (2) hinges home depot #03699150199
5. (2) latches home depot #044074429961
6. (1) vapor lamp home depot #745972953724
7. (1) thermostat Granger Part #4TZ1 (50-525oF)
8. (2) 2’ x 4’ fiberglass duct board Granger part #6ZKK5
Cut hardy board for 5 sides of box ( my over was 2’ X 2’ X 1 ½’) so I cut 2 pieces 2’ X 2’ and 3 pieces 2’ X 1 ½ ‘ then I cut the 4 pieces of 2 X 2 23” long, 2 pieces of 2 X 2 15” long and 2 pieces of 2 X 2 21” long . Using a finishing nail gun I tacked the hardy board to the pieces of 2 X 2 to form an open ended box. Next I trimmed the outside on the box with 1 X 4 pieces to give support. I nest cut the 2 X 2 to go around the inside top of the box cavity. I added a 1 X 6 on the back side of the box so the light could have a solid to attachment. Next I mounted the light and electrical box inside the cavity. I then proceeded to insulate the box with the Fiber board I purchased.
I then laid out the top using overlapping 1 X 4 ‘s making the top 2 thickness of 1 X 4 ‘s see attached pictures for completed project. I have temperature control cycling at 180 degrees but the temp can be raised to over 250 degrees.
I did this project because there are a lot of post asking about a DIY oven and I need one so I thought I would share my design.
