Looking good, man! How are you planning on finishing the stand? Did you say paint? I'm curious to see how the paint you use holds up to the heat.

The stand is looking great. Aint welding a lot of fun? I <3 arc'n and spark'n. I used a gas shielded mig setup last night for the first time. It was like using a damn glue stick! I have a big DC Lincoln stick welder at home. I've got a lot more time in on stick machines.

Well, I went to my local HD and picked up 3 cans of high temp barbeque paint which is rated @ 1200 F. For some reason I just don't think I will like the flat black paint.
So I went on-line and found this paint which is also rated @ 1200 F. A lot more colors to chose from. Im thinking the Hanover Red.

Thanks! Welding is fun and addictive. Im already wanting to weld another stand. Just for the fun of it. Heck I just might do that and sell it for dirt cheap to anyone in the metro Atlanta area.

Update: 3/7/2010

Ive been thinking how I wanted to mount the banjo burners and also add a heat shield/windshield at the same time. So I came up with this. It is a 12.5" x 4" 16 ga. carbon sheet metal heat shield.
I only could mount two of them since I ran out of flux core wire. But here are several photos to show them. The Shields themselves are welded to the tubing.
I only added one burner to give you a better understanding of how it looks.

Also got around to mounting the casters, Which will be covered up when the stand gets painted.
I picked up some gas valves, and several pieces of black pipe to get started on how I was going to plum the thing.

This rig is looking good! I like the wind/heat shields. I'm planning something similar on mine (maybe with aluminum).

Thanks jlandin, I'm very pleased how the shields came out and fit the burners just great. They burners don't move at all once mounted to the shields on the stand. Very solid!

I finished installing the last shield today and also some more grinding and sanding. Some prep work on the gas valves and pipe.

I also came up with the idea about mounting two small tabs that stick out over the top on the rear tubing which will stop the 3/4 plywood from sliding toward the rear. The wood is another form of a heat shield for the middle burner (unused since I only have to banjo burners ATM) which will be used for the plastic cooler (mash tun). I still need to cut the wood to size and sand and stain it. But will post photos once I do this.

Several photos of the tabs installed and the "counter-top" shelf/ heat shield.

Also, spray painted the top and the shields with the 1200 F paint. The rest of the stand will be painted in a dark red. Once this is complete I will install the diamond plate shelf and mount the burners.

Primed the rest of the stand. Getting ready to coat it with red.

Looks fantastic. This is exactly what I want to do. I may have to copy some of your ideas if you don't mind. I will give you full credit. I might even pick up the same welder as you. What did you use to buff the steal before priming and painting? Also what did you use to clean up the welds? Dremel? What bit?

Also would you be willing to share the dimensions you used for this? Or maybe the blueprint/cad drawing?

Thanks.
