Hi All

Stumbled upon this site as I am attempting to build a brake drum pot belly stove.

I have made a few wood burners in the last year or so out of car/light truck rims, gas bottles and car LPG tanks. I like to scavenge what I can from where I can, be it the steel bins at work, car grave yards or curbside rubbish - I call it - "Creative Salvaging".

No proper welding training, just like to tinker so bought a welder and went from there.

As for my "garage" situation, as of now I actually don't have one, dismantled for an upgrade but am expecting delivery and prompt assembly of my new one very soon. Luckily for me, the weather in lil 'ol Adelaide is currently suitable to work outside in.

Looking forward to getting tips from anyone who is willing to offer.

THB: here's one of my favorite thread links from another AUSSIE on Garage Journal you can maybe read and post on to get to know a few more Aussies and a few other members like myself that post on it almost daily. he's built an amazing carport (not sure what you guys call it) and has a lot of projects always going on and 1/2 Cup is one of the most giving members on GJ.

here's the link to the SHED DOWNUNDER to get you started and check out many on the garage gallery and don't feel like you need to have a garage to ask questions or give advice either. sometimes just a WELL DONE or thanks is all you need to post.
