Hey man believe me that comment was one of respect and admiration, I struggle with patience quite a lot and I always admire/envy those with it, and you my friend, are the poster child for patience in these forums.

Hmmm . . . I wonder how well something like this would work:
- Steel 55 gallon drum like this turned upside down -- Check CL, there are some used ones here in Omaha for only $5! :woot
- Propane burner from grill in bottom, fuel fed thru the smaller bunghole (cue Beavis and Butthead chuckling) and air from a hairdryer/fan/metal hose through the larger one for a circulation fan/oxygen supply
- Layer of lava rocks/bricks to block flames from touching work pieces
- Large door cut in the side w. hinges/latch
- Outer frame with several inches of high-temp insulation on all sides
- Thermometer
- Variety of hooks to hang work pieces
- Wheeled base for portability so you can fire it up outside and not burn down your house. :lol

This looks very similar to the Hamilton Beach oven http://s1269.beta.photobucket.com/user/a1959birdman/library/Datsun%20truck%20project/Original%20L16%20engine%20and%20work%20done/Assembly%20of%20L16/Powder%20coating

Damn, I was gonna mention something like that using large heating elements....
Griff example 2 is doable and could be done with half the cost as your's wouldnt have to be that big....
Put on your electrical hat and get to building....
griffindodd:
The drum is a nice idea, especially for cooking outdoors, but it's very large, you may as well just dump a CL oven find in your garage at that point and be done with it. The second option with the framing is super interesting, I've seen that before, I wonder if it would turn out cheaper than the $80 I would spend on the two ovens I have coming (I can always RMA them), I do like the idea that it is far more custom.
rablack97:
maybe not cheaper, buy wayyyyyyy more interesting.....
go with # 2.....makes the thread more interesting, send the betty crocker machines back, and build you a man oven....
