Welding Plans For Wood Stove. This may or may not slightly warp the steel, so it is best to get this out of the way before putting too much effort into fitting the door and stove bottom. To make the rack as i have, take the flat bar and drill a small hole in the center of it.
Once the hole is done, make two parallel cuts from the top to the hole. 1½ x 12” these will be notched to interlock each other and the top of the stove. With these parts together, the door can be fit into the stove body.
Now you can assemble them and weld it on top of the stove. I cut the strip 1200mm long x 250mm high from the sheet that would be the main body and marked it out. Once the hole is done, make two parallel cuts from the top to the hole.
I drew my own blueprints and used 3/16 mild steel for the stove, but used 1/4 for the top for a stronger hold with regards to heat buildup. With these parts together, the door can be fit into the stove body. 3/16 x 1 x 8¾” cut with 45º on both ends such that.
Then weld the front and back of the chimney on the inside of the stove and the left and right on the outside of the stove. 4 x 10” cut at a 45º angle so one edge is 10” and the other 6” (sides of chute) 2 ea. To make the rack as i have, take the flat bar and drill a small hole in the center of it.
Preferably the same size as the thickness of the flat bar. The box finishes up at 500mm long x 200mm wide x. I used 2 flat bar for accessories such as handle, hinges, and draft door.
Ok, so actually starting making here! Here's a photo of a wood stove i made. This may or may not slightly warp the steel, so it is best to get this out of the way before putting too much effort into fitting the door and stove bottom.
