Stainless pot.

Hahahaha. Shoot thats not half a bad idea. Didn't know there were that many welders here on the nut forum

I finished up another few pots over the weekend. A pair of slab inspired pots, as well as a round pot. They are all made of 12 gauge steel, or .100" thick, or just under and 1/8" thick if that's more your style. If you measure things the weird way, that's just under 3mm. I guess I should put these thing in the wind as they say, and post them for sale over in the selling forum? Should I post them here?! Anyone know the rules on that? Ok enough yammering on, here are a few photos.

No worrying with shipping these pots! I would like to see a cascade.......you up for the challenge?

Drat.... Yeah, I am.

Started on a few cascade pots. I will be grinding all the welds smooth, and then coming up with feet. But here is the overall idea

Wow, you actually did it!

 

[Marlborough Handcraft]

It's not done yet. Plenty of time to turn it into scrap

I've got the cascade pot smoothed. I'm stuck on what to do for feet. Here is a photo. Any input would be appreciated.

Now that is really cool! I would say feet on every corner for sure. To get some ideas google some cascade pots and study the feet.

Pretty cool. Hows the shiraz, btw?

I don't drink wine, but my wife very much enjoys the stellar organics. I think she prefers the cabernet over the shiraz. @Mayank

Thank you @Pitoon. I am toying with a few ideas, but so far nothing is really grabbing me.

I don't think you are going to be able to weld them now unless you have a pencil torch, a flex-loc, or a small 24 flex head... but you could drill all the corners and use 1/2" ball bearings.

That's not a bad idea at all @Maiden69 . I've been thinking a stainless foot, kind of a scrolled piece of 3/8" diameter.

How about some stacks of different size bearing plates, or washers? To keep up with the hard line theme

 

[Maiden69]

Well, since you have a waterjet, go look at a few ceramic pots that have a similar shape as yours and trace their feet and modify them to your liking. If you have a lathe you can also shape some bar stock into whatever form you want.

@Maiden69 @MrWunderful those are great ideas. It's got my brain running. Thanks both!!!
