Display MoreI was just suggesting a starting point, since heating elements and thermostats were already mentioned.
I was envisioning cut in half long ways just like it would be to make it a grill.
Place fire proof insulation over both halves, held in place with banding straps zip screwed on, though could be nuts and bolts.
Could always use heat duct metal instead of bands to cover over all the insulation.
Since, like painting, you seem to hang items. Bolt a 1/4 inch thick, 2 or 3 inch wide metal plate on each side. As long as it needs to be to come just shy of the lid closed.
Cut a "v" into the top center of the plates. This will be for square tubing the length of the interior of the barrel to be placed into for a place to hang your items.
You could grind/cut shallow grooves into the top edge (upper "v") of the square tubing to better hold your hangers from sliding while setting items into oven or removing them. Done by lifting the square tubing out of the oven.
You could make a stand that would hold your square tubing for spraying and cooling.
Heating coils and thermostats were mentioned before I brought up a barrel option, but I'm sure those can be sourced from used stove salesmen.
That is what I was thinking. Keep in mind, I said I have no experience. I was just trying to brain storm with you guys.
YEA MAN!!! Thats some excellent brain storming....How long would it take to build with all materials and tools to sculpt? We would need to incorporate 2 put together because I would like it to fit a sway bar or similar item in size. Once we have all the parts Ill fly you out and we'll build it....if ya wanna bring the wife and baby Im sure my wife and kids would love to entertain them!
I've had to sugar coat a lot of things in my life, but never powder coated anything.
You really should try it @funinthesun its alot like powdered sugar but you dont eat it!!
