In this article, the Wizard will show us how to make a chimney hood. The cap was made on the chimney of a building built in 1920 and fit perfectly into the architectural features of the house.
Tools and materials:
-Sheet metal;
-Profile;
-Metal strip;
-Stainless steel sheet;
Cutting machine;
-Welding machine;
-USHM;
-Rule;
-Marker;
-Grid;
-Drill;
-Drilling machine;
- Plasma cutter (optional)
Step one: cut the sheet
So, as the master has an CNC machine with a plasma cutter, he cuts the base on it, from a sheet. In the absence of a machine, this operation can be performed using the angle grinder. On a cutting machine cuts the workpiece of the profile pipe.
Step Two: Racks
To the cut out base welds racks from a profile pipe.
Step Three: Angle
Welds to the base strip at an angle of 90 degrees.
Step Four: The Framework
Welds side frames.
Cuts the top frame. Welds.
Step Five: Stripping
Cleans the seams.
Step Six: Top Angle
Welds the strip to the upper base at 90 degrees.
Seventh step: the roof
The cap is cut out of stainless steel. This is done because this part will heat up and the black metal paint will disappear over time and the sheet will rust. A stainless steel does not need to be painted.
Step Eight: Grid
Now you need to fix the grid. But first, you need to make a framework for her. The master makes frames from a metal strip.
Cut and weld the mesh.
Step Nine: Mount
To fix the cap, the master welded a strip at the inner corners.
With the last step, the master covered the product with powder paint. After painting, set the cap in place.
All is ready. The whole process of making the cap can be seen in the video below.
