Day one done is done on it. Got hinges cut in half on CC lid and got it off and cleaned up for new hinges. I tried 1/2" pipe from local Ace Hardware, but it is schedule 40 and looks like I need to find schedule 80 for thicker wall thickness and more importantly smaller ID.
For the none spinning wheel, I ended up cutting the spokes at the hub and then cut the hub in half to get off. Same goes for the hub, it is from Ace and is sch 40, need sch 80 for smaller ID.
Don't judge my welds, first ones I have ever done. Got a HF Titanium Flux Core, Seems to work well. Most importantly it holds and I can move it around now without dragging it. Will properly fix or change later, probably with golf cart wheels.
Fired it up just to see it smoke. Even with no wall on the FB below CC and no bottom on upright, with 5 -14" splits of oak, temps were at 185DegF in both chambers. Was kind of shocked.
I found a drop of 1/4" X 16 1/2" X 48" that I will use for FB end and bottom of Upright. Will have to piece the bottom together since it's not 20", but it wont show.
Don't have cutting torch or plasma, nor are they in budget. Any suggestion on how to cut circles with angle grinder?
