So I started a travel sized UDS
I've had the idea in the works for a while and finally gathered up the pieces. I'm waiting for a few more, so sorry I'll have to hold you guys in suspense. Here's a pic of the burnout.

Re: So I started a travel sized UDS
Got a little more done the last couple days. Still waiting on parts to arrive.
Air inlet on the back side.

2 air inlets on the front. They are piped to the bottom of the drum.

Doin a test burn to make sure the piping design would work. Came up to 250* in about 5 min and held.

Got the base welded on yesterday.

Added some bolts for some bling.

More pics to come as soon as I get the other parts. The wait is killing me!!

They're just for detail. They'll get painted with the rest of it. Besides that, I prolly couldn't afford them.
