        Hammered With John & Jimmy DiResta

        The Copper Chimenea

        Episode HBROS-206F

        When John and Jimmy DiResta visit some friends and decide to build an outdoor fireplace for their spacious patio. Jimmy draws from his expertise in three-dimensional design to shape various copper sheets, resulting in two separate pieces: a concave kettle-shaped bottom with cone legs and a funnel top for the smokestacks. John provides jokes about the "Tin Man" as Jimmy connects the panels with pop rivets. Steel pipes are added to provide strength and height to the chimneys, and both brothers put on their masks and safety goggles to do a substantial bit of welding. Once they throw some firewood on the grill, the fireplace is both a source of heat and exactly what John needs to cook whatever he can get his hands on.
