I'll chuck up a couple of photos from my phone but you won't be able to see too much difference from the last lot. The thing had lots of surface rust so I dealt with that with the wire wheel. Then I welded a couple of supports for the lower shelf and put the flat bar flange around the lid (more for aesthetics than anything). I made a handle by screwing in a couple of eye bolts and pushing a length of dowel through, I will need to paint this at some point soon.
I have also done the first coat of heat-resistant paint and bought some qwila for the sides.
Pics to follow
great. Used to love spear fishing, the Bride and I used to live off it's results when we used to go away over summer.
Fuggup - it was a mutual decision.Quote:

Smiths city or one of those type stores usually have the battery powered rotisserie which is ok for chooks.an old window wiper motor off a car might give a little more oomph.Macca your an auto sparky ???can you offer an opinion.

The shit I see that some guys mate(usually him but wont admit it) made or "fixed" :sick:
Dont show me closeups it looks good from there :cool::thumbsup:
Possibly give the quilla 20mm or more clearance from the firebox
Yeah come you think of it @vietnamcam, shit outside the fire box not catching on fire is probably a good option.

What RPM you going to rotate at! I may have a small 230vac motor but it only does 1 rpm, you probably need 3 rpm, maybe small chain drive, geared up? PM me
macca seen another DIY effort that used sprockets&chain off a pushbike which turned the mechanism-that was 12v powered by a wiper motor.Quote:
