Thread: I am building a 32 grill----Wanna Watch????

Tweet

This is how it starts---I use fairly heavy cardboard to make an exact pattern of the inside of the grillshell, which will of course be the outside of the grill insert frame. This step is very important to get right. I use a glue gun and many small peices of cardboard to follow the inner curved shape of the grillshell opening.---Try not to glue the cardboard to the shell---see the vicegrips and c-clamp at the bottom. What I do is clamp a peice of cardboard to the shell at the bottom and build out from it with my other cardboard. You have to glue the cardboard to the shell at the top to get everything to stay put, but only do it in 2 or 3 small places. That hot melt glue really sticks, and we don't want to wreck the pattern when it is removed from the shell.
