DDave's Reverse Flow Build

[Mark R]

Seems they already thought of that. On one of my random trips to the metal shop I saw this being cut on the plasma cutter.



I think it was supposed to be a surprise. I felt kind of bad about walking in on it. They had contacted Mrs. DDave for ideas. They also must have read my forum signature to get my member number.

Very cool! And thoughtful. My coworkers are the best.

Wow, that is beyond cool!!!

Coworkers?

Metal shop teacher cut it on the plasma cutter. Another teacher drew the design.

Got a completion date yet?

So Dave what is the timeline for powder coating and a fire involving mammal or poultry flesh??

Should be done by the end of the week. Next Tuesday afternoon it's going in for powder coat. Hopefully pick it up Thursday or Friday. Seasoning fire on Saturday.

Cook maybe late Saturday or Sunday.

Sweet! Get ‘er hot as blazes for a while. Install fatty poke butts and let the grease do it’s magic

I am so impressed by this build. Fantastic stuff Dave.

So I took Mrs. DDave by the metal shop to show her the progress.

"Oh, it's cute!!", she exclaims. "It looks like Thomas the Tank Engine."



Well, maybe a little.

I'm a bit behind on this thread, tell her to stay off PBS during kid time..
