Stopped for a break for some calls, but got the doors framed up.

"Also, new tools showed up, finally some good drill bits "

Can I ask why you went with a set of 70Rc bits?

Everything looks like it's coming along nicely!

Started making the cart, have a halloween party at my house tomorrow so wont get to work on it until sunday. Next week this thing will be smoking!

 

[Ham14]

Look forward to seeing it in action

Got a ton of finish work done on this thing and started the cart. My boy Tony came down for the day, so I broke out the 7" grinder and he went to town on this...makes short work of things

I have seen a lot of smokers out there where people roll or bend the panels for the doors...this entire smoker is all hand finished :mrgreen:

Couple of shots of some fab and finish work.
