Ultralight Stove and Base

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT affiliated in any way with Sanyo or Pinnacle, and this is the last video in which I will reference these products. BUT, for just under $250, I captured, edited, and rendered this video. Last year's JVC video camera and CyberLink's PowerDirector 8 are no match in price, ease of use, or features to what I have at this moment.

ABOUT THE VIDEO: When I was a shop foreman, I designed this stove base. I layed it out and routed it with a $250,000 CNC machine. After prototypes and scrap, the aluminum cost about $50. One other successfull version was made before the one in the video, but it was gifted to the very handy machine operator/designer that assisted me. I have long since lost the plans, so these two are the only two in the world... unless I can find an extra $250,050 laying around the house....

If you have several years of training, a quarter of a million dollar machine, and some aluminum plate metal, you could make one. Otherwise, I will lay claim to the most expensive soda can stove base on the planet!

I plan to make another stove for a friend, and I will post a video on that, as well. I encourage you to watch it because I use a few different tricks to make the project easier and cheaper. I researched the possibility of building them for profit, but the margin was so small and the market so unique that I decided instead to publish the information and experiences I have for free.

Sorry for the lengthy explanations. I hope you enjoy this one!

@dutro76 I made the stove base with a CNC machine.

Thanks for watching!

Oops... In my intro I put "Sony" where it should have been "Sanyo." I apologize for the mistake (that I probably won't correct.)
