|
MATERIALS LIST:
The following materials will be needed to make the potstand:
- Tin snips
- Metal file / medium to fine grit sandpaper
- Ruler
- Section of either 3" or 4" diameter dryer vent pipe
- Marker
|
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP #1:
Cut a 2.5 inch length of dryer vent pipe using the tin snips. This can be accomplished by uncurling the stove pipe at the seam and laying it flat and then cutting it with the tin snips.
 
|
STEP #2:
Next, cut a wavy pattern into the long edges of the dryer vent pipe using the tin snips. The depth of the waves should be approximately 3/4 inch. Make at least 4 waves on the edges.
  |
STEP #3:
Smooth the rough edges using either the metal file or sandpaper. |
STEP #4:
Recurl the dryer vent pipe into a circle and attach the edges accordingly.
This is what your pot stand will look like with the alcohol stove inside it:
