Hobo and Billy

I am about to do some tests this week with my newly built Hobo and billy.

Nice, What type of P-clips are they?

 

[Globetrotter.uk]

Homemade from alley metal strips

That really is a nice piece of work, how about a parts list sometime. Looks as though it will burn anything in the way of fuel

Do like the feed hole, May I pinch that....

My Billy was a coffee tin from 99p store
The stove was a cutlery drainer for £2.65
2 tent pegs
some alley strips/nuts and bolts
and the meths stove is part of an antique picnic set

The feed hole was just to show I dont nick all ideas from here, but we are a happy sharing family.

For some bizarre reason the feed hole makes me think of the robot 'Gort' from the classic sci-fi "The day the earth stood still!"

Back on topic now, did you make the butterfly mug handles yourself and what did you use the to fix the P clips and the handle on with? Looks like pop rivets or rivenuts. Sorry must read all posts BEFORE replying.

Incidentally you have used exactly the same drainer and coffee tin as mine, though I've still to add the wooden knob to the existing steel handle on the lid of mine

I feel some design plagerism coming, regarding the butterfly handles.

The Butterfly handle was from an old cup, recycled

wow, thats realy good. I think ill have to keep my eyes open for parts to make something like this myself.
Maybe on your next project you could do a full tutorial (unless you are going to patent it).
