THE KIT / FP30

What you get

Good to knowOutdoor use only. Use on a non-combustible surface, at least 10 ft from structures. Check local burn bans.

30 in square body, 33 in cap rim, 18 in tall. The floor sits 5-1/2 in off the ground on arched legs.
10 ga (0.135 in) pickled-and-oiled steel. It paints clean, or you can let it rust to a patina.
Self-fixturing: two 2x6 boards set the floor height, so you don't need a fixture table.
Weldable with a 120 V MIG or flux-core machine. Includes an illustrated assembly guide.
Ships flat in three boxes.

STEP 6

What you’ll need

MIG or flux-core welder (a 120 V machine handles 10 ga)
Angle grinder with a flap disc and wire wheel
Four or more clamps (corner clamps or F-clamps)
Framing square and tape measure
Rubber mallet and a flat file
Two 2x6 boards, at least 24 in long
Welding helmet, gloves, jacket and safety glasses

Finishing

The parts ship bare with a light oil film. Wipe them down with a degreaser before welding.
Grind off weld spatter, then sand or wire-wheel the outside surfaces you plan to paint.
Paint the outside with a high-heat paint rated to 1200 F, in two or three thin coats.
Leave the inside bare. A fire will burn paint off the inside, and bare steel there is normal.
Or skip paint entirely and let it weather to a natural rust patina.

Safety

Use outdoors only, at least 10 ft from buildings, fences, overhangs and trees.
Set it on a non-combustible surface such as pavers, gravel or bare soil, never a wood deck or dry grass.
Check local burn rules and county burn bans before every fire.
The steel gets hot enough to burn skin. Keep kids and pets back.
Keep a hose or extinguisher nearby, and drown the fire completely before you leave it.

Lone Star Log Rack, 44 in
A 44-inch firewood rack you weld yourself, the matching piece to the Lone Star fire pit. Sixteen laser-cut 10 ga steel parts tab together so the rack squares itself up, and it holds about 10 cubic feet of 16 in firewood, close to a quarter face cord.

Weld Starter Kit with Lone Star Die
Learn the four basic welds, then build something worth keeping. Fourteen laser-cut 10 ga steel parts make a butt, lap, T and outside corner joint, plus a 4-inch steel die with a Lone Star for the one. Every joint lines itself up, so you can focus on the bead.
