Barbecue Grill

This is a barbecue grill that I made myself at school. It was my first time working with metal and my first time welding, so I was extremely eager to learn and try everything.

Type: School project
Year: 2023
Materials: Sheet steel body, wooden handle, metal legs
Processes: Bending on a sheet metal bender, welding

How I made it

Using a sheet metal bender, I formed a large piece of steel into the shape of a barbecue, and welded on the side panels.

What I would upgrade

I would make it bigger, and add metal mechanisms such as a kickstand to raise it higher. At the moment it sits too low to cook on comfortably, so it needs a table or a stand.
