Thanks Sean...Hows it burning? Sounds like i have a simliar idea for my feet :-)

Many Thanks Treequip, do you have any pics of the vertical strips you used to stiffen the back (I think i know what you mean) So far filling the container with water i havent had a 'Kaboom' moment. I was going to try and control mine by using some heatproof rope to try and seal the door. Iv also seen people use the valve as an eye hole on the door..would this help with air flow? Also seen people use glass...am i guessing right its some kind of pyrex? dont think ill be going to that extent. Was going to use the offcuts as legs (if poss) and to improve door seal. :-)

Iv seen many upright ones, fancied a pot belly style to mount a 'hot plate' on the top and they look 'nicer' Just trying to work out how and were i can get the air intake and chimney to stop any stagnent fumes...

Hi all, Over the next few weeks im working on a gas bottle woodburner. I have a 12.5Kg bottle which i have filled with water (to displace the gases) and have taken off the top handle and valve. Im currently cleaning it up until the next section or cutting/grinding. Im looking to have it horizontal (pot belly) style. anyone had a go at these, has any advice on air circulation and production etc.. Many Thanks

Sounds familiar with all the bits i buy and sell. As a buyer i take a risk an most of the time come away happy. But most ebayers put sold as seen so its a risk to the buyer. As a seller i do everything i can to cover my back. Pics, video, description. And ALWAYS collection only so that i can show them it running etc. Once gone i take no further responsibilities for its use. I do draw the line at selling to minors as i don't want the guilt of causing accidents from unfamiliar users

Iv just managed to get the 010 running after catching a super cheap buy. After stripping the carb etc it started first time. Its a fun little saw but havent used it much yet. Im hoping to expand my saws further. Ill let you know if the 010 starts getting to me :-)

Good luck...can't wait for the pics :-)

Not something i would usually carve but had a go at a Meerkat for a supportive purchaser. Didnt take too long and is helping improve my skills.. Also been busy working on a Stihl 010av & Stihl 020av pro...

I tried these out on a friends metal lathe a few days ago. Just using some metal rods. They fit well into a powerful drill. Like you've said, friction is the key. Im hoping to make a few larger eye pieces and the bolt idea is great and quick.
-
Bumping up the thread but have someone knocking me up some homemade drill bits to shape and burn eyes..hopefully great results....will keep you posted :-)
-
exactly what i was thinking...slow and steady and hopefully a great carve will emerge.
