Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I-beam section will do the trick in a pinch. bed it in well to a good big bit of wood though.
the main problem with alternetive anvils is power return. on a good anvil you will get about 70% (made up figure) of the force you deliver with the hammer given back on the other side of the work from...
well good luck with it. i just cycled out to my mom's place and back, stopping along the duel carriagway every time i saw a can in good nick. it must have looked daft. i was barely going when i would be stopping again.
so far i have made 5 stove sets, and they have all been claimed by various...
for cans, i just walked around the town at about 6 in the morning. got a fair few without needing to drink any beer.
for tutorials on making these stoves i started with wayland's tutorial here; http://www.ravenlore.co.uk/html/drink_can_stove.html
then went on to find more info on different...
after spending the evening experimenting, the easy answer i find is no. the top section lip is wider than the bottom section lip, so to make it work you would need a slightly wedge shaped inner wall. way too tricky for me to figure out in my sleep depraved state. lol.
thanks, i will have to change my sig. ya, Rabbit project dried up about a year ago. which is a shame as i had a lot of interest in it. nvidia were even interested in helping me out. unfortunately i am a designer not a businessman, so i just couldn't keep a team going. the last stuff i put out...
i haven't actually used the quencher in anger. just used it to see if it works, but i wouldn't bother trying to recover the meths on this system. there is no screw on lid possible like a trangia, so i recon the way to go will be to just put in as little fuel as you can get away with and let it...
lol. go for it. i started off on this project off the back of your can stove tutorial. ;) nice to see ideas going full circle. one difference when making the burner to how your tutorial does it is, instead of putting slits in the can to get the top and bottom pieces to fit, i stretched one can...
it has been a while since i posted any of my stuff up here. does not mean i have been doing nothing, just trying to do some stuff to the standard of some of the other people on here. anyhoo, did some stuff i am kinda proud of recently and thought i would share them with you all.
here is my...
coal or charcoal fire with extra air. there are so many variations it is mad. at its simplest you could dig a trench, pack it with sand, work a pipe into it. light your fire and hook up a hair dryer or anything that blows air up to the pipe. the simplest make-your-own forge would be a brake drum...
probably not. but if you have a small forge, do some welding practice on bits of mild steel first.
you can make an axe without welding using one section of spring steel. just fold over one third of the way in the length and pin to the face. although that fellas axe is lovely. will have to make...
i use a cardboard box, bottom lined with old magazines i didn't want, then a load of expanding foam sprayed over the top. taped the lid up with tape and the expanding foam filled it all up great. it is rock solid and so far has no sign of over penetration or of the face flaying out. the foam...
pretty much everything in here should be in an art gallery. there really is no other way to express the amazingness of some people's creativity on here.
if you haven't used NV be warned, its pretty tricky. usually getting them correctly focused can be a problem, with a lot of people thinking they are broken if they dont realise they need focusing.
gen 1 will need IR illumination to see anything in a light level lower than what you can make out...
