Does anyone know of any collapsible wood/hobo stove designs I can make, I've made one, but it's bulky and I'd like a collapsible one to be very small in my bag.

Have a look at the "Pocket Stove" from BackpackingLight. It's like a smaller version of the Honey Stove, and is four metal sides and a plate that fit together. Disassembled it fits in a small tin. It shouldn't be too hard to make something similar that slots together, yet is quite small.

Made from Aldi's powdered milk can with a sweetcorn tin inside the holes are made with a church key / old fashioned bottle opener and the top is sealed using fire cement. can never figure out how to insert a image, the idea is based on the bushbuddy.
i think making a collapsible stove requires metal working skills and equipment. OK if you have them, impossible without. I don't have the equipment so would go with a hobo stove, then select my cook pot, drink cup and food dish and other paraphemalia to fit inside the hobo stove. What i catuslly do is build around my cook pot (about 1 litre) and fit my alcohol stove, mug etc inside the pot. I have different kits for days out, overnight solo and twin etc. Typical hobo stoves are no bigger, or littkle bigger than my cook pot, so the nesting rational would, IMO, work. Yopu have to have a pot, and it is not collapsible, so that should determine the outside dimensions of your cook kit. One of my objections to wood burning kits is that they tend to be dirty and it is difficult to keep everything clean. About the only solution is to purchase a Honey stove or similar, then ones budget soars. As someone else stated, ZEN stoves has all sorts ofd designs for a metalworker
Well my current wood stove is pretty good, I like it alot, but I'd really love it if it was collapsible. So I'm still trying to find a collapsible design for one, this time I'll make it in stainless 316. How good are Hexiamine blocks as a second choice if the rain was really heavy and there was no dry fuel for the wood stove?
That's an excellent design mate, no worries with the TIG, I TIG weld in work, so it shouldn't be a problem.
A vegetable steamer. 4 pegs and a small pot . Mine weighs 350g. sets up in 30 seconds. collapses small. I would post photo's but I`m not a full member!

Have a look at this thread. I knocked up a nomad stove in an evening.

I assume if you can weld you have some metal working skills / tools too,
you only need a hacksaw, drill and file to make it...

Metal shears, a drill, file and pliers should be all you need to whip up one of
Emberlit, Nimblewill Nomad, Pocket Stove or Qiwiz (Use the Google, young Skywalker).
Use an old cookie sheet, steel waste bucket, or any lightweight steel.
