[Shambling Shaman]

Packed.

Out of Bag

Component parts

3/4 lined with 2mm ally as wind shield

With Burner fitted

And if more stability requierd 3 legs can be fitted

Ooh, I like that. Neat idea on the wind shield and the leg supports. The second photo makes it look like Ned Kelly's helmet.

Turn the trangia upside down and you'll have NASA at your door to buy the idea from you

Seriously though, do the legs lift it off the ground or are they only there for stability?

Just by a few mm

The proto type with extra leg option for very uneven ground.

That looks neat and very versatile.

Excellent work there. I'm making one of my own at the moment and I was wondering how to keep the billy central for transportation. Rivnuts are a brilliant idea and you can put stabilisers on them too.
It does make it look a bit like a Cyberman helmet though Sorry Eric I don't remember Ned Kelly

Cool, great stuff.

This place is terrible I have a S/S linen basket at home that I use for dirty laundry. I've had it for years and can't even remember where I got it. It's about 2 1/2 - 3" tall and about a foot in diameter - I was looking at it last night thinking, "you know, I could probably make the mother-of-all-hobo-stoves with that thing!!!" now, where's me dremel :eek"

Or how about an old washing machine drum??

 

[abushcrafter]

[Cobweb]

Oooh I like the washing machine idea!

 

[spamel]

Yeah, don't do it with your actual washing machine though! Your missus will certainly have a sense of humour failure if you do that!
