Marking out the lines
roughly chopped out with a grinder and cutting disc
take off the bottom stand, dent out the depression in the centre..
edges cleaned up a bit and a bit of iron for the handle..
into a fire to try to burn off the paint and any lining that might be there...
back in the shed for sanding down.....
I'm hoping to clean the inside up a bit more, then season it to see if that makes a difference. I'm wondering about a wooden lid for it.
Certainly not a pot for a backback, but it's getting there
