Alcohol Stove Windscreen & Pot Stand Build MYOG

[@ahayseed654]

Now it's my tool, and I'll do what I want.😊

[@tomlovesdiy]

Yep.

[@arklaskanadventures]

I think the chisel is a damn good idea. Thanks

[@tomlovesdiy]

It worked perfectly and actually didn't damage the chisel. Even made a slight partial fold which helped assembly. Didn't think it would do much harm. Tool steel vs aluminum flashing. And the chisels are old made in USA Craftsman. Good quality. You planning to make a set? I can send you the template. Just email me at [e-mail]. Appreciate your comment. Love to hear from ya'all.

Well, ain't you slick? Great idea, got my gears spinning on a stove I want. Quick, concise video, thanks a bunch.

[@tomlovesdiy]

Appreciate the kind words and that my little vid spun up your gears. If you make this stan/wind screen... you may want to add more or larger air holes depoending on the O2 requiements of your stove. And do use pop rivets or other mechanical fasstener in place of or in addition to the JB weld. JB can fail with exposure to 500F. It gets brittle and loses integrity. After you get it done, send me a pic at [e-mail]. Email me at that address if you want the template. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Pretty cool idea. We definitely need a windscreen, and this is light weight.

[@tomlovesdiy]

Yes, made of aluminum flashing it's very lightweight. There is always a tradeoff - weight VS strength. Unless you use titanium! Don't have any in my garage. I'm going to post an update; adding pop rivets to secure the pot stand tabs. Concerned that theJB Weld can fail over time because of the high heat. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers.

If you want the windscreen template, send me an email - [e-mail].

JB weld will degrade with heat. Your pot will fall off if you heat it long enough. It's better to use rivets.

[@tomlovesdiy]

I agree. You are the only person who has caught that. JB is only good to 500F. Alcohol burns at 2x+ that temp. I'm going to add pop rivets and do an updated video. Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@tomlovesdiy]

Update video is posted.

[@waynevowell9732]

Tom, I ended up watching several of your videos and wanted to implement a couple of them, so I figured I owed you a subscription. Keep up the good work!

[@tomlovesdiy]

Wayne I appreciate it. Happy that you found some useful. When you get some made, please Send me pics at [e-mail].

[@RobertsBulgaria]

Nice straightforward easy to follow instructional. Well done.

[@tomlovesdiy]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

[@nattydred2593]

(Phew, I thought you were going to use the tape measure as a hammer.) Nice build. Nice technique for making sorts and bump outs. Thanks.

[@tomlovesdiy]

No. I draw the line at hammering with pliers. The slots and tabs work well and didn't harm my chisel. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

[@wilfor03]

Just watched a video of how to build this alcohol burner wind screen/pot supporter and love it.....I was getting ready to build one from one I saw on another channel and wa-la....I came across yours....and I do appreciate you and now have subscribed to your channel....and I thank you and I'll let ya know how it works out....

[@tomlovesdiy]

I so appreciate your comment. Please do let me know how it comes out. You can email me and send pics/vids! Thanks for watching. [e-mail]

[@adventureswithgrumpyjim1089]

only found this today and sent an email for the plans, what a great idea I only hope I can make one as nice as yours. I really like the idea of the modular system as it allows you to be able to change pot sizes easily. Great instructional video. take care and stay safe

[@tomlovesdiy]

You should have the jpeg template and spreadsheet in your inbox. LMK if it doesn't show up or you have any problems. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@adventureswithgrumpyjim1089]

@@tomlovesdiy it arrived thanks

[@aparecidomiranda1191]

Parabéns ótimo vídeo

[@Sokol10]

Good job, looks practical. 6:27 - Cut a small "V" in the top of the groove on the tab, so when using the pot weight press the wire triangle against this 'V" and lock in the centre. And your DIY stove? ;)

[@tomlovesdiy]

Good idea. Thanks

[@techguy9023]

Make the pot drop down to the rim and leave a one inch space between the burner and pot. It’s almost a Caldera cone.

[@tomlovesdiy]

Had not thought about CalderaCone. With your mention, I looked a videos. Interesting. Thanks for the comment.

[@VTK72]

Really cool ❤❤❤

[@tomlovesdiy]

Thanks for comment. Before you make one see the update video with pop rivets. Cheers.

[@ciliciaann3504]

[@tomlovesdiy]

Sorry. Can't translate. I only read English and Spanish.

[@peetsnort]

Wind is the biggest enemy of theses stoves. I like a stainless steel mesh.360 degrees and 9 inches high.

[@tomlovesdiy]

I'll check that out. Agree wind, even a slight breeze can make an alcohol burner barely work. I usually use heavy duty aluminum foil if I'm using a wire triangular stand. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ArmandoRodriguez-pu6pr]

Is it aluminum or stainless steel?

[@tomlovesdiy]

Aluminum. Very thin flashing. Easy to work and lightweight. But not very durable - bends easily.

[@tomlovesdiy]

The "arms" that the pot rests on are stainless steel. Another video shows added pop rivets. Check it out.
