Author Topic: Mended a Busted Ash Ring (Read 1153 times)

My folks have been down-sizing for about a year, so I have been acquiring some of my Dad's tools. This was grabbed a few weeks ago.

I rescued a OTG over 2 years ago for my kettle fire pit project.
The ash ring was in two pieces. It stayed in my boneyard until now.

I cut a very small piece of aluminum sheet, then proceeded to get busy with my "new" tool.

Using THIS method, I attached the ring to the kettle and converted the M code OT+ into a MT.

Will see how long this holds up.

I have said this many times …. There are no bad rescues. Having extra parts on hand is a good thing.

Did a similar repair on the same style ash catcher.

Aluminum strap drilled and tapped with 10-32 stainless flat heads.

Nice work. Pop rivets can be quite useful.
