damn, sorry about the double post

first time welding, so bear with me
0 dollars spent.... free oven off craigslist

this is from using just the oven itself so far, i will be doing supports and possibly a insulation layer

the right side will have a viewing window made from glass

welding sheet metal sucks! so far its just tacked together, ill be sealing it up soon

its a double oven im using, so it should work out, need to make a skeloton frame inside though with hangers

ill be purchasing a eastwood kit and i own already a 33 gasllon craftsman air compressor

anyone with experience have ideas?

this morning i added the start of supports. my welds suck. im trying to get better, butt this sheet metal isnt the thickest
most deffinetly entertaining a insulation layer to retain some sort of heat

the BAM. 3 seconds it took me. (maybe a little bit more)

will be using the other door on the bottom if it fits, or ill extend the one on there

and the pole across is where ill be hanging shit

the welding is slowly getting easier

and the swivels. hold the door,so i say im doing a decent job

some more information on the DIY part

heres the stock fan ill be using, this stays internal and is made from metal to withstand heat

heres some free insulation, from the stock oven i can use

here are the heat rails, off the harnes, its as easy as a pos. neg. wire that attaches to them. simple stuff, i have 4, becuase i have a double oven

heres the wiring mess, i touch NOTHING, this is literally the top of the old oven, i welded it to the top of my new one

that harness, has a sister harness that scrolls down the back of the original oven, dos the same as mine
consists of A powe harness, like any eletrical oven

and B the wiring to each heat rail, pos. neg. and to a light, which ill use, and to a fan, that i might not use

looking through a hole, heres my space

heres my beefy wooden pallet, i took from my job, ill be putting roller wheels on it

that wood will get hot, so i must make a pad, i have spread rock, to seperate the wood from the oven

not recommended, its expensive but i got it for free[hr]
and then some tools used

30 dollar drill from hb freight

20 dollar cut off wheel from hb frieght

and what do you know a pheumatic 12 dollar cut off wheel for the small stuf, also from hb freight, all work great.

welder being used is a lincoln 100 weldpack, purchased for 120 bucks

Update** put an hour or two into it this morning

heres what i did, i added the other door, and welded them together, and added a 3rd swivel

i also realized how flimsy it was getting with the heavy door
so i bridged the two together with a pipe

im buying sheetmetal soon, but i forgot this project is about buying the least i can,

soooo back to milking what i can out of the stock oven...........

you know what sucks guys? owning 1 vicegrip.... and trying to weld and hold shit by yourself
FUCK haha

having all those open spaces is +1 will allow me to add insulation before i button it up

speaking of insulation, so far im buying none. im using the stock ovens insulation

and tip of the day!

TAPE ANY SHARP METAL STICKING OUT

dont worry i have my tetnus shot

***CrimsonRockett*** · 07-14-2009, 11:24 AM

Uh, props for trying?

I would've used the oven in "stock" form to powdercoat smaller things first.

Make some money off of it.

Then, the money made from that would go into purchasing a real oven.

But, yeah. That looks ghetto as hell.

essforteen · 07-14-2009, 12:03 PM

Will the heat be evenly spread throughout the oven, or do you think there will be hot and cold spots?

XeroX · 07-14-2009, 01:43 PM

yea dude, this looks SCETCHHHH as all hell...Make sure you alt least isolate those connections on the top of the oven before you short something out or better yet electrocute the crap out of yourself...

Props for effort tho! You need to get some insulation in there tho...its not going to hold any heat in there with it sitting like that....looks like you just tac welded all the stuff together...

druthafoo · 07-14-2009, 01:53 PM

I'd say it's almost impossible for this not to be a fire hazard.

Good luck?

JAKracing · 07-14-2009, 02:54 PM

turboboost12004 · 07-14-2009, 10:00 PM
