This one followed me home today, a ac inverter for my dc tig welder, i didn’t know these existed.
Would be interesting to try make it run, my other tig welder got both ac and dc, but is a brute monster to operate, so nice if this work, it should just take the dc and chop it up in square wawe ac, with a control for negative/positive pulse lenght %.
Planning on working on a lot of aluminum Goran? A wild guess. Probably not a gasifier. 
Not planning Tom 
, but i often have pieces thats need repairing, and some ideas about raising compression ratio by welding pistons like Tone does
That’s way over my skill level. I never even heard of anyone else doing that in a home workshop. Of course now you will have to find someone giving away a machinist’s lathe. Anything seems possible in a place where they throw away stainless.
Some fiddling with the inverter and it’s up and running
It looks like you nailed it in the first picture! It looks a lot like my welding. 
This one followed me home today:
Nice shapes. Not sure what could be built from them but I’d start by bolting them together to form an hourglass shape. Don’t Imbert’s use that kind of shape?
Vise, anvil and grinder stands,
I think Mike LaRosa used them for his hearth on at least one version. As Tom said you bolt them together into an hourglass shape. Then I think he used a tall water heater tank, and it more or less fit on top. He was pretty specific about which brake drums because of their diameter.
They make excellent forge hearths.
I think just one of them would make a good downdraft charcoal hearth.
But yeah I was thinking of making a firebowl or something for smithing.
I used one to make the cutter for my chunker made for easy removal if it breaks. Some get cracks due to all the heat stress.
Free generator, guy said it shut off like it was out of fuel. He filled it up and pulled the starter rope for an hour and gave up. Gave it to my brother, he handed it off to me after collecting dust under a bench for a year today, I brought it home gave it a whiff of the good stuff and 3 pulls later runs and operates perfectly. Fuel system wouldn’t prime. 15 second fix that was 2 fillips screws. Knowing that would have saved the guy 550$ on the new generator he bought to replace this one
Free is my favorite four letter word. 
Cody i saw this random video on YouTube and figured it fit so well you would want to see it.
Though this simple solution is also pretty cool. I am actually impressed with how much heat he gets from wood in this video.
I used to have a book that was literally just Popular Mechanics magazine entries of projects to do at home, one of them was a disc brake rotor forge.
Out of the wine industry? The beer industry? Drain is too small for dairy curds draining . . . but maybe?
great find, Steve!
stainless seems pretty thick too.
by the way, cooler on my gasifier used to be a milk cooler in dairy farm ))
