As you may have seen in another thread today i joined the " i own a honey stove club". I have to say it's a nice very well made piece of kit. I have had a few goes putting it together in both configurations and i am a little better at it now. However i think that it may be possible for it to be made even easier.
The tabs on each of the sections are all the same size and in the same position which means that to put it together you have to line up two tabs, four on the door section. I am thinking of adapting mine so that two tabs on the top of each piece are slightly shorter than the bottom by say 3-5 mm. The bottom i am taking as the piece held vertical with the tabs pointing up. This way you ony have line up two tabs and then the other two would sort of automatically drop into place.
I'll have a bit more of a think about it and would welcome any input. If i decide to bite the bullet and have a go i'll post the results here. If it doesn't do any good then at least it will save any other members having a go. One good thing is considering the length of the tabs and how small the width is i don't think i can ruin the stove. Over to you.
