Couple of stoves I made haven't tested as of yet one is made from a 3 pound coffee can the one which still has the label is going to be my large billy pot gonna make a lid out of sheet copper soon as I can go through my bosses scrap bin also gonna make the bail out of bicycle brake cable, it worked well on the small peach can pot made from a 1 pound can. The little stove is made from a soup can and it is perfect size to nest in the peach can lid I made from a large tomato can though may work up one again from copper. Anyways here's a few of my things lemme know what y'all think oh the little stove and peach pot are gonna be for brew tea or coffee when out riding my bicycle or on a wander

Nice one! It's very rewarding to make something useful that actually works, and to save something that would have ended up in the bin. A few quid saved on the alternatives as a bonus. If it starts to get grubby or rusty - you just replace with another one you've saved. It's the same as what Oscar Schindler did, but with cans instead of people!
