Propane tank for the outside shell, spindle from lawn mower deck, AR ( Abrasive Resistant ) pipe from a grain augur along with some bits and pieces I had cut to order.
In the fist image a pair of large rings, the one with the same OD of the tank gets welded at the top, other ring gets welded to an inverted tank top which becomes a funnel.
Of the smaller rings the widest is welded 1.5" above the base plate which becomes the bottom of the bowel the next two rings are welded in at the same distance.
Still have to notch the bottom rings on their OD, when placed for welding those notches will be 45 degrees apart, purpose of the slots these will make cleaning easier, during wash out the slots will give the particulate a place to fall through.
