Zingmo, I was thinking of making it quite low to the ground (I don't know why but I like that design)

It was something my control freak teacher said (he's not even my teacher - he teaches the other DT class) and I've seen pupils welding at A-level. That said, our class is quite big, so maybe that's why. Edit: SurveyMonkey survey added (see first post)

Thanks for answering my questionnaire steven. I was thinking of making mine less bowl-shaped (partly because I can't think of a way to make it bowl shaped very evenly) but it'll probably be dished so your fire doesn't fall out! I'll definitely have to think about a grate and vents - I can think...

Thanks Pignut! Thanks for the offer Dougster. I'll have to ask for some help right now :P (My google-fu isn't quite good enough to find answers). Unfortunately we're not allowed to weld or braze at GCSE, so I'll have to use comparatively ugly bolts to hold it together. Can mild steel be beaten...

Time for a shameless bump, because I need results :P

Mike, My product will be a garden/patio fire tray for enjoying a fire without scorching or damaging the ground. It is for a garden, so does not necessarily need to be lightweight. It will look good and not obstruct your view of the fire. There may be points for a grid/stand for pots and pans, so...

I have an iPhone from Ebay and a 3 rolling contract sim. The sim is £10 a month and I get 1GB of internet (equal to most "unlimited" internet deals), 3000 texts and 100 minutes (and 2000 3 to 3 minutes)

I asked the seller and they said it's grade 304 stainless EDIT: Is this the right stuff? http://www.cromwell.co.uk/CTL4133303D

Probably the cheapest one possible. This is more of a project to prototype a knife and practice the techniques. Then I'll probably make it properly in 01 steel.

I bought some 5mm thick stainless steel off the "Bay of E" Straight away, you can probably see my problem. It's too thick. So how should I use it for the knife I want to make, with a blade length of 8cm? I want it to have a scandi grind because people seem to say it's easier to sharpen...

Nice knife Alan! Much better than my first one will be, I'm sure.

I wonder what's happened in those 3 years...

No idea why this hasn't sold - it's beautiful

That was the idea. If I'd had some larger chisels I'd have made the corners more rounded. It was my dad's birthday present
