There are plenty of ways to practice your cutting and welding, and most people use scrap steel and just play around. But why not work on a project that really won’t be any less fun and functional even if it’s ugly? That’s the reason we’re saying you should grab your welder, torch, grinder, and saw and get after some steel wheels to build a fun car guy chiminea. Or fire pit if you live under a rock. We can see doing this with standard size car wheels, but we can also see doing one with bigger steel wheels from a big truck. Say some 22.5 or 24.5 wheels instead of 15 inchers.

Take a look at the video from the gang at Weld.com below. It shows you just how to do this whole project. It’s cheap, fun and cool. Do it.
