    Default Rustic ornaments.

    Bought these recently at a closing down sale.
    Bought the whole lot as displayed. They were filled with water & looked great
    Took them home & then wondered, would filling them with water speed up or slow down the rusting process?
    Dont want them to rust out too soon
    Big one also doubles as a fire bowl, works great!

    I'm looking at putting in a fire pit at home and a local shop had these steel dish type ones same as in Fred's photo.
    They look really solid although very basic at around 4 feet wide with 3 small legs but couldn't afford the $1100 price tag..

    Grab an old plough-disc and weld a few legs on.

    HPM, check out stainless firebowls on ebay, I think they were about $129 from a place in Vic.
    Yes Imp, reel mower, just pensioned it off last year. Too hard on the back.
    Oh and the kik was a little frost bitten, we had a -2 start last week.
    Cheers Fred.

    Smile Re: Rustic ornaments.

    Just Googled the product, sounds interesting and would be handy to have a tin of it in the shed.
    Think "MacGyver" would know 50 ways to use it.
    Cheers Garry
