As a retired coded U.S. Navy Welder and a Navy weld instructor for 7 yrs while active duty, that is one VERY professional and esthetically pleasing fire pit!! Great imagination, fabrication and finish!! Makes me proud to see this coming from an Aggie!

What a great project !
Glad to see Tate (and other HS) offering real world/marketable technical skills.
I bet this design allows for optimum fireside heating, vs inefficient traditional in-ground pit.
Nice.
