hi, i have a plasma cutter, bought it when i worked on my hybred 8v landy. had a lot of work for the 4" angle grinder and thought it would keep next door happy it did. i find all my stuff seams to be on the HD side, but i dont often brake things i make
well apart from my back moving them. i have made the stack so all you have to do is remove a pin and the stack slide's of the back so it fits in my landy for transport. when i used it for first time it glowed a dull red in the dark made me smile. carl

Very nice! Does look like it'll last a few centuries anyway! How does your ash pan work? And what are the doobries hooking round the flue for?
hi,
top plate is 320x560x8mm
stack 120x100mm
fire box 500Lx250Wx300H 3.3mm thick
leg's 40x40mm box 510mm high
door 215x150mm 3.3mm
the fire box is larger than it looks in the photo, i have removed one corner + 20mm from the box section of each leg
and also the side suports where they meet the fire box. so as you look at the frount the fire box, sits in the legs 20mm each side + 20mm into the under fire box 40x40mm surport box section. there are also 5 x 18mm holes under the flat bar under the door. a small plate inside the fire box to stop the flames comming out of the stack and inprove the top plate heat. hope this helps. carl

thanks for your time carl

hi, relfy
Ah! Crafty!!
.... I could do with that kind of set up on my flue on the (narrow) boat. I've never taken it off, but I can see that when I need to, its going to be a pig.hi, got the old scales out today
i thought it was about the same as a bag of spuds 25kg/55lb but i was wrong again it was 27kg would i change anything yes two things
1st the flue is 3mm wall (all i had )
2nd make it out of stainless steel
i also have a second section of flue,that i'm going to adapt so i can fit the stove inside my tent. thank you all for your kind comments. carl
