My neighbor offered to lend me his gravity fed sandblaster so I gave that a try. 3 days later ... I’m still picking sand out of my ears and I decided to just strip the trailer and sand and buff the smoker w my pneumatic angle grinder. Kind of looks like black chrome. Gonna hit it with a few coats of high heat clear paint and do the trailer in black.
I also got the door to the WC framed out and hung on hinges. I need to sand and buff it to match the rest. All in all, lots of work but happy with the turn out.
Thats an amazing build. Looks like a torpedo from the front and a rocket from the back. Awesome workdacolson wrote:Welding flat metal onto curved tanks is a challenge! Tackled some daunting tasks today.
- Built the smoke collector and welded up the stack.
- Put a small stack on top of the WC.
- Built the hinge and hung the FB door.
I ended up tacking the door in place while I fit up the hinge. Added a couple washers to the hinge pins as bushings to keep it steady. She’s rock solid.
Got a real booger on the top left of the smoke collector the needs a touch w the grinder. Must have dozed off while I was running that one LOL.

Thanks Claud. My kids think it looks like a submarine. Kind of steampunky. Wasn’t sure where I was headed at first. Super happy w it so far.
I’m thinking smaller. They don’t look so big in person but they really dominate the top. They don’t really go with the design of the build either. I may scrap them and just make a brand with the initials instead.andysmoked wrote:Not bad. Maybe closer together?
