Folding Mug Handles, DIY.

Years ago, a lot of years ago, we had a kind of 'show us your hobo stove' photo filled thread.

Seeing @pwb 's thread reopened brought it to mind.

Those hobo stoves were fun to make, fun to develop, and good to use too.

I think photobucket's change rather killed the thread, but there must still be a lot of the hobo stoves about.

Mine hasn't been used in a while, but I'm tempted to dig it out and do a brew up, just because I can

The hobo thread is one of my favourites @Toddy
I've still got my old hobo stove too. I'll have to introduce my two lads to the joys of hobo stoving. At age 9 and 11 I'm sure they'll enjoy....I hope.

On that note; I've used the search engine, and I have found the older threads.
Yes, there are a lot of missing photos, but there are an awful lot that are still visible

It's been a while since I first posted this up and since then I have seen some great threads with other peoples hobo stoves in them. I couldn't help thinking that it would be great to have one thread with all these projects in one place to give people ideas for their own so i hope you'll...

I still like the hobo stove; they're such simple, practical things. Pleasing somehow in their fettled to suit the individual sort of thing too.

I've been making a few aluminium lids recently and I'm looking forward to testing some 3d printed forms a friend made for me. I usually use 18mm ply but the plastic ones are very precise.

These are for vintage Swiss canteen cups. M32 and M84.

Used copper harness rivets to attach handle and a small copper name plate held on by small copper pop rivets.
I'm going to try blinging it up by machine turning the surface Spirit of St Louis style.
Easy to do using a bit of dowel with a leather end glued on and some valve grinding paste.
Atb,
Pete

Looked out and dusted off the old hobo stove today @Toddy . Fired it up in the garden and made a brew. Anna the Jack russell terrorist chased the ash and sparks about the garden.
