The cold season has come, which means that we need as much heat as possible. The fireplace will be the best friend in this business. Of course, not everyone can afford a fireplace in the house, but this does not mean at all that you cannot make a street portable fireplace where you will think about what is important for a cup of coffee or stronger.
The fireplace considered below is assembled exclusively from sheet metal, so it is easy to assemble and gives off heat well. Rivets can be used as connecting parts, all this is done quickly with. The author thought up a special form of the chimney, thanks to which smoke does not go into the eyes. The author used stainless steel, so that when heated, it does not rust as usual.
Materials and tools for making a fireplace:
- sheet metal (preferably thicker);
- ;
- a tool for cutting metal (at least a grinder);
- some parts for the manufacture of legs and other trifles.
Fireplace manufacturing process:
Step one. Design
It all starts with the design of the fireplace, for this purpose the author used the Fusion 360 program. Of course, all this work can also be done manually, using paper and drawing accessories, there is nothing complicated in the project.
A fireplace is a pyramid that has three sides. You just need to make a window in one of the sides through which the fire will be kindled.
Step Two We prepare blanks
Knowing all the sizes, we cut the material into the necessary pieces. You should get three parts plus one more that acts as a bottom. On the details you need to make bends at a special angle, where rivets will then be installed.
Among other things, you will need to make three more parts that are installed in the very bottom of the legs. Here then the supports will be attached.
Step Three Getting to the assembly of the fireplace
The fireplace is assembled very simply, rivets are used here. For convenient and quick use of rivets, the author used. We drill holes in the right places and connect the parts.Here you will need a vice, clamps and other clamps, and preferably, the help of a friend. The author took less than an hour to assemble the structure.
Step Four Test
That's all, the project is ready! The oven can be tested. According to the author, the fireplace turned out to be excellent. Stainless steel was used here, but even it darkens a little when heated, however, this is not scary. Such a furnace should last quite a long time.
