The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

Re: BudLyte Super Stove
Do you think the UHMW plastic would work okay for that?I can get some good thick (probably 2") chunks of that and turns like butter on the lathe or drilling it with forstners...usually about $4 a pound I seem to recall..but it's been a few years since I've been into Laird's...Or do you think that would be too soft? 
Here..check this out--->

A page from their "clearance" items(check out the list and number of pages.
.around here,I just go look in their bins)..might be some real deals in there if you need just some pieces and their locations(cheaper shipping if close probably..)...

Re: BudLyte Super Stove
i've worked with both HDPE and UHMW and i think that neither would not work for this application.
the bottle would cut into the plastic and grab, rather than roll over around the corner.
polycarbonate is a lot harder stuff.

Re: BudLyte Super Stove
I was curious if a die could be made such that it would reverse the folding on this stove. Currently the material folds in on itself. Can it just as easily be folded out? The diameter of the final stove would then be slightly larger increasing pot stability and fuel capacity
. But the original graphics would not be visible as the bottle would now be inside out

Sounds like it should work.....I'll make one and test it and post results.DaddyMnM wrote:I was curious if a die could be made such that it would reverse the folding on this stove.

That is cool Jon! Zelph, I think Jon is working on a project that will put good use to all the top halves of the bottles you throw away....
Just think
; make two different stoves from one bottle and double your sales.
Double your pleasure, double your fun. Zelphs got stoves. Be sure you get one!!!
