Made a half pattern for the bottom part of the grill shell. When I cut out the sheet of aluminum, I'll flip the pattern on the center line and make it out of one piece.
However, before I do that I need to do quite a bit more planishing on the top piece. I made the new end for the body hammer yesterday. I pounded on a piece of aluminum and it didn't mark the end of the hammer but I think I'll go ahead and harden and temper it anyway in case I want to use it on steel. As you can see from the photo the new head will give me a lot more depth than the little hammer I normally use. I don't know if I'll be able to weld it on without cooking the handle. Probably can't take the handle out and re-use it either. I'll find out soon enough.
