I like Hammocks.

[No Idea]

Time for a third....

It wont fit in the vice, so Im using screwdrivers....

Im doing the vice up on them...

They needed tapping with a hammer to tighten the pot against the vice top.

Then....

Another one cut..

Tidying the edges a bit...

Not too much, as this will end up being a training excersise...

 

[No Idea]

Three cut....

Nearly bed time...

 

[No Idea]

And the fourth...

Hmmm....

Dremmel.

 

[No Idea]

Cant find a bed time story....

So...

 

[No Idea]

Checking to see if hes ground off the burr.

A burr is formed when you cut metal. The teeth of the saw or grinder sort of rip through the metal the same as they would through plasticine/play doh, or splinter wood.

What he is doing is taking off the burs, so when he handles the stove, he wont cut his fingers.

Thats bad.

His hand should be resting on the workpiece to steady the tool, to minimise the chances of it kicking - suddenly gripping too much on the metal and powering itself away.

....Still bad...

Checking again...

 

[No Idea]

Aaah!

Thats better!

See his hand steadying the tool?

Hope he deburred the bottom edge BEFORE he rested his hand on it lol

Hes done it!

Happy chap isnt he.

zzzzzzzzzBANG....

Getting there.

Side holes now....

My scissors Grrrr (not admitting that how I do it when I can find the secoreurs)...

Almost done.

 

[No Idea]

Putting a softface hammer in the vice....

Deburring the holes the easy way.

Levelling out the wrinkles in the sides...

Must remember to teach them how to make and solder a tin box together...

Done it!

Now showing fly 3..

 

[No Idea]

Drilling the last of the holes - this time in the hobo stove base..

Looking good No Idea. Where did you get those tins with the clip down lid that the first two are made of?

Darkside

 

[No Idea]

They are Spanish Chocolate tins from Tescos, £4.

Oh, they are full of chocolate when you get them, so its a good excuse to live on it for a few days lol.

 

[No Idea]

The grate is made out of a Sainsburys New potato tin, and the heat shield is an Asda New potato Tin. The sainsburys tin has not got the protruding rim on both ends, so its no good as the heat shield.

The cup is the out of stock stainless steel Gelert one I was asking for.

 

[No Idea]

Just trying some more chocolate - as I need another pot lol, with Teachers...

Excellent.

 

[No Idea]

Just thought I should mention that Im not expecting these baby hobos to last very long as their steel is not very strong.

 

[Darkside]

Thanks bud, sounds like I can gain some brownie points by getting the missus some chocolate and get myself some useful tins at the same time.

 

[No Idea]

Bending over the bottom of the can so it wont be so sharp and to make it stronger....

Pliers first...
