Today on Modern Builds, I’ll show you how to make a custom steel fire pit with limited welding tools. All you need is a welder (obviously) and an angle grinder. I attached a 16″ by 16″ concrete paver for a simple concrete base to counterweight the otherwise top heavy bowl. This is only my second welding project and is really a simple DIY project for people new to welding. I plan on letting the pit sit outside for a while to get a nice patina, then adding a clear coat to protect it. If you plan on building this project be sure to check out the written article on my website for free plans and step by step instructions. Thanks for watching!

Great work. Welding looks fun. A coat of matt black chimenea/bbq paint and this would look even better
Hey mike here's a tip for welding. When welding a bead make sure you weld backward and try to just barely move back and forth to create a even bead. I love your channel and what you do, I'm 16 years olds and your big inspiration to me, thank you for making content for minors like me to indulge in and learn. keep up the good work 🙂
How you get rid off the ashes ?
Wats the hight of the pcs
I'm building a metal fab shop in OKC I'd be happy to help. Come by and check it out. I enjoy your videos.
I love wrangler
cool, getting a welder when i get a house, not easy around an apartment
I didn’t know you were an okie!!!
Do you think this project was more expensive than buying one already made?
Looks great! I want to make one too
So how much was the sheet metal?
for a first time weld doesn’t look too bad!! biggest suggestion is shortening the distance from your gun & steel. looked like you were giving too much room between the 2, other than that didn’t look too shabby
Well done Mike. I like the design and concept. Corners might look better if you use a patina or other method of darkening them up. Diresta has a variety of methods in his weld videos. Nice work!
Hello, great video!!! Was wondering if you have had any rust issues with this being outdoors. Did you do anything to prevent rust in the future?
Can someone explain to me why you need to add water to concrete and metal before drilling a hole into it?
What were the dimensions you used to cut out the side pieces?
