Re: Nickle Plated Fire Pit
Very nice looking! I wonder how the nickle plating holds up to a wood fire?

Re: Nickle Plated Fire Pit
Thanks to all the positive comments!
Nickle hold up very well to heat. Use alot in the oil field for that purpose. U cna put a torch on it and will have trouble cutting it. The cost to nickle plate it is $1800. YES, not a misprint, $1,800. lol. Not cheap but it will never rust.

Re: Nickle Plated Fire Pit
Why in the world you would have something nickle plated.....when you could have just used stainless steel? Could have done it out of stainless for at least 1/2 the cost if not 1/4

Re: Nickle Plated Fire Pit
I would have to agree. I cut a lot of stainless steel. It cuts beautiful, tig welds perfect and won't rust. Although the fire pit looks great if you can afford it.BrianMick wrote:Why in the world you would have something nickle plated.....when you could have just used stainless steel?

Re: Nickle Plated Fire Pit
Why?? Because too some ppl price doesn't matter like my brother n law. Its original, idk another person who has one like it, much less nickle plated, and it will last forever. And to see it in person is undescribable, its absolutely amazing. He has seen many pits I've made out of stainless also, not what he wanted.

How do you cut your flat expanded metal to for the top? Just curious.

Re: Nickle Plated Fire Pit
So does mine, but the grill was made piece by piece so its faster just laying exp metal over it and cutting it with wheel. I cut all the other exp metal with table.PlasmaDesigns wrote:My torch has a switch you flip and it never loses the ark and you cut like normal. John

I have a Hypertherm PW85 & I just use the hand torch for expanded metal.
