Welcome all. Today we will make a man’s metal ashtray for the workshop. There is not much work, and in the end we will have an original thing, instead of the old bored ashtray from a bent vinyl record.
Tools and consumables needed.
1. Welding inverter.
2. Angle grinder.
3. Industrial hair dryer.
4. Gas burner.
5. Sharpening machine.
6. Welding electrodes.
7. Cutting wheels for angle grinders.
8. Black, heat-resistant enamel.
9. Paint imitating bronze.
10. The hammer.
Donors who participated in the creation.
1. Steel pipe with a diameter of 100 mm.
2. Sheet metal, 1 mm thick.
3. The old bicycle chain.
4. Broken, rear bicycle sprocket.
5. Two unnecessary open-end wrenches.
First, measure the height of the bicycle chain and multiply by 3. The resulting size is measured on the pipe and cut off.
We grind irregularities on the grinding machine.
We note the diameter of the pipe on sheet metal.
With maximum caution, cut out a circle with a grinder.
We clean barbs and irregularities.
We wrap the bicycle chain around the pipe, measure the size and cut three segments.
The preparatory part is completed, we proceed to welding. We weld the bottom of the future ashtray to the trimming of the pipe.
We clean the joints.
We grab the scraps of the chain to the pipe.
The lower segment can also be grabbed to the bottom, the rest only at the end.
We hide the place where the chains are docked, grabbing two more pieces across.
For decoration, we weld a bicycle sprocket to the bottom of the ashtray.
Now we need two outdated wrenches.
We heat one key with a gas burner and bend it a little with the blows of a hammer.
Weld this key to the ashtray. This part has two functions, to fix the upper part of the chain and serve as a holder for a cigarette.
The second key is welded to the top of the ashtray. It is also a chain lock and serves as a stand for the lighter.
We get rid of dirt and grease residues by burning the product with a burner.
We paint the product with heat-resistant enamel.
After drying, we warm up with an industrial hairdryer for baking enamel.
With the help of paint imitating bronze, we give the finished look to our ashtray.
The ashtray is ready.Even if you do not smoke, which is very commendable, this product can serve as an element of decor for the workshop, or be a gift to a smoking comrade.
