Then why is it so easy to adorn a tripcode?

Why are you so asshurt that someone has a trip on? My trip is constantly on across all boards. Deal with it.

I've personally been using Solidworks, but that's just me.

It flows pretty well in person, pic related.

Step 1: Gather Copper Wire
Step 2: Sell Copper Wire
Step 3: Buy decorative bowl
Step 4: Spend the rest on whatever you want

It feels even larger due to the tall ceilings, though.

Quite large, yes. And it is for just me, basically making it into a rad bachelor pad.

The living area is essentially going to be setup for a home theater(Just a 55" TV wall mounted right now, projector in the future) as that is how I spend most of my time when I am home. The two rear surround speakers are going to be wall mounted, and there is about 76" behind the couch(maybe more or less once I get it put where I want). I was thinking about throwing a corner desk into the bottom left corner eventually, and on the wall opposite the windows, I am going to build a shelving unit, but try and match the wood, which might turn out being difficult.

I'm going to be moving in a few weeks, so not currently working on any projects other than planning how I am going to put everything.

Once I get moved in, though, the projects are going to be endless.

Hey op. A few years ago I had one of the 8ft Comfy Sacks. They basically had urethane foam Filling, with a liner that held the foam, and then the cover(fabric) which went over the liner, so you could remove/change/wash it without the foam coming out.

Whatever you do, I recommend making it a more manageable size, and staying away from an 8ft. While it was awesome, it was extremely bulky, a pain in the ass to move, and even more of a pain to "fluff"(which you have to do as they just get flatter over time, so you have to fluff it up every so often to make it comfortable.)

As far as what material to use, I would just find some kind of similar foam chunks. Or you can order it directly from them.

Not trying to shill, but that is just my experiences with it.

Not familiar with Sketchup. With solid works, its just the fillet tool.

If you need it drawn up but can't get it done with sketch up, send me an email with some sketches and I can make it in Solidworks if you need it.

Here is one of my ideas.... it would simplify everything as there would only be one ignition system.

Obviously, this is just sketched for the shape, and not for practicality.

The kits are purposed with that in mind.

>>637098
God damn, that sucks. From the way it sounds, that had it dug into the ground. Luckily, the house was built and purposed to have this there from the get go, and wasn't shoe horned in later.

I was planning on using stainless, mostly. It seems I can purchase a 48" Ring for a fairly decent price, which would save me a lot of time, and I can source all of the hose and fittings from work, as we have a dedicated hose shop.

Talking to a few people, they said to use a lava rock base, and then a small layer of fire glass.

So I would essentially need to build a base for it to sit on, fabricate a 50" pan, and then make all of the hose and fittings from the natural gas line, and that would just be for like picture related.

It seems a lot of people are just using match lit, although I would want to use a spark starter(the ones for the fire pits are basically the same as a BBQ), and then above that they have trick stuff that is all remote controlled and that nonsense.

The difficulty comes in with trying to include water into the design, and how I would like to proceed from there. I plan on making a few CAD models when I get to work tomorrow to polish out some of my ideas.

Everything else is going to be done, the Fire Pit was the one thing that was agreed upon that wasn't going to be included, as the price and variety of options for them.

He was originally building the house for himself, that's why he was putting this in.

The biggest problem comes from the large diameter opposed to most fire pits. The largest typical size I can find is 48", and fire pits seem simple enough. Just a burner with a pan, or so it seems.

>>637032
Here is something similar to what I was thinking.

Anyone ever built a gas fire pit?

Moving into a new place, and is setup for a new fire pit, but I do not know how I am going to go about building it. The builders original plan was to have one circle as a firepit, and the other as a waterfall, but I am thinking about combing the two to have a double fire on water pit, etc, just don't know how I want to go about it. It has the electrical, natural gas, and water line all right there, as well as drains at the bottom of the enclosures.

Mainly looking for ideas and advice, and would much rather prefer to do it myself, as these things can get extremely expensive in a hurry. Wouldn't mind buying certain parts pre made, but have the ability to fabricate if need be.

Help me /diy/, you're my only hope.

Another oddly similar quick sketch.

A little later I will export as a DXF, take it over to the CNC Router, set toolpaths, and cut it out

Yup. Solidworks. Also have a FARO arm setup which I run in using Dezign works which makes shit fucking great.
