Painted and plumbed it this weekend. The black is 1300º-2000º header paint, silver-blue is 650º engine paint. I used 1/2" Galvanized pipe to 3/8" copper tube with flare fittings.

Airgas swapped a CO2 tank for a 75/25 tank for me. They will charge $20 if your tank is out of date. Also this is only if you have a steel tank and not aluminum.

There is no substitute for using the gas. 75/25 not pure CO2. Top is with gas, bottom is without...

I actually use a 3D program called Solidworks. I haven't modeled the burners or castors but here is a rendering of the stand:

Yeah, that would work except I already welded the diagonals in.

Here is a rendering of what I'm talking about. The standoffs will help protect against scratching the paint when moving the kettles around.

Here is the cut list so far. I'll add to it as I go but this is a good start I'm putting this out there but please double check and "dry' fit before welding together. If you find any mistakes please let me know ASAP:

Thanks to Sea1961, I'm going to add Stainless spacers at the top to help exhaust and protect the paint.

Thanks. For mounting the burners, I used the heat shields. I drilled holes for the supplied burner screws at the bottom of the shield and mounted the burner to the shield. I then drilled and tapped (4) 10-32 holes on the 45º gussets. The burner/heat shield assembly is then mounted to the stand...

Thanks. I'm by no means a professional welder. It's a MIG with the gas conversion. Trust me, that can make an amateur welder like me look pretty good. Slag, spatter, blow through, crust all pretty much gone due to the shielding gas. Making little "o" or cursive "e" is the trick to giving it...

I'm contemplating it but I haven't decided yet.

Here are dimensions:

"Dry" fitting the burners and castors.

I decided to go with 16ga stainless steel heat shields, which were a challenge to bend into circles. I cut a form in a piece of maple and used my vice as a press to make my hoops.

Thanks. It's mild steel. I'm using solid wire with 75 argon/25CO2 gas. The shielding gas make a HUGE difference.

What 3D program are you using? Just curious, I use Solidworks myself.

Thanks, I'll put up a cut list and drawings when I'm done.

Ok, I added gussets for mounting the castors and the 45's for the burners (which I only tacked in place until I actually receive my burners)

Thanks all. I'm going to go with 45º mounting. I imagine that they probably vary by at least 1/8" so it would be a good idea to use the 11.25" measurement. Thanks hoppy guy, I was hoping you would chime in since I know you are always making these.
