I was immediately attracted to the oil tank arch designs pioneered by many. I love the repurposing of an object and was able to get a free tank from my neighbor.
My build began last summer, but I of course dropped the ball and had to crank it out over the last week.
I have a pretty complete shop and tasked myself to make the pan as well as the boiler. I press braked the long sides of the pan and welded the ends. My welds on the first end of the pan are pretty ugly, but after some excellent advice at the welding supply store, I saved my good name on the second end.
I test ran it today for the first time and am quite pleased. No time to waste, will be making syrup tomorrow.
