HOW TO BUILD A FIRE PIT
Sean Jordan (@atomic_fab) helps us get ready for the colder months by building a fire pit, using a CIGWELD 175i+. It’s perfect for the home backyard and easier to build than you think!
BACKYARD BRAZIER
Back in October 2012, Greg Holster was approached by New Zealand’s ‘The Shed” Magazine to write up a DIY Article. Greg shows you how to use an old expended gas cylinder and turn it into a Backyard Brazier of wonder. With a little bit of plasma cutting with a Thermal Dynamics 35A, and MIG trickery on the CIGWELD Transmig 250i, you too can get your backyard all toasty warm in less than a day’s work. A great project to get your older kids involved too!
