3 forum posts | Hello all, I'm building a 3" Plastow Folwer and need help in finding someone to roll a smokebox up for me. Its 7 1/2 OD 3/16 wall and 6 inches long. Could anyone suggest someone who could help? Regards Gary |

Probably have to come out of 5mm sheet but should be easy enough to adjust the chimney saddle or if there is a spacer ring between the boiler and box then get it rolled to the right OD.
