84-Year-Old Grandpa Creates A Metal Death Star Firepit For His Grandchildren

This Christmas, one redditor got probably the best gift a Star Wars fan could get. Her grandpa, an 84-year-old metal worker, surprised his grandchildren by building an awesome Death Star firepit. Made of welding propane tank ends, this firepit looks exactly like the iconic Death Star II battlestation from Star Wars. The handy grandpa, as the redditor says, makes beautiful metal firepits as gifts for his loved ones and this one was made by his granddaughter’s request.

Since she posted the pictures of her gift on reddit, many commentators have been suggesting for her grandpa to unretire and start building these wonderful firepits everyday!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities...
