First fire in my Nimblewill Nomad's Little Dandy Wood Stove

This is my first attempt at a stove designed by Nimble Will. Nimblewill Nomad's Little Dandy Wood Stove

Source of the plans and the idea: http://www.nimblewillnomad.com/stove.htm

Measurements
============
Flat packed: 8mm x 115mm x 160mm
Weight: Under 800 grams / 1lb 12oz (not a digital scale, only accurate to about 50g).
Floor area inside: 95mm x 133mm
Overall height: 113mm
Height of floor above ground: 20mm
Height from floor to top: 90mm

Notes
=====
I would expect this to be considerably lighter when made from thinner steel. I like things strong, and it's what I had available. I would imagine the sides of an old computer case would be easier to work and lighter, but I would burn the parts in an out door fire to remove any paint or other finishes on it.

More attention to detail and making both sides the same would make assembly quicker and easier. Mine fits both ways, but only fits well one way.

I goofed and cut the slot for the front left slot from the bottom when it should have been from the top. I managed to cut a shallow slot from the top but the cut from the bottom will always be there now.

My newer video of making char cloth shows another addition of a small plate at the bottom to hold the coals. You 'll also see (in that video) that I've also added bars across mine so that I can put smaller items like tims and my billy can directly on it without fear of it falling in or off.

I've recently made a pop-can meths stove and I was going to make a wind shield for it, but saw someone use it inside the Nimblewill stove. Excellent idea - I'll do that.

I took a lazier route&made a stove from a coffee can 5.5" tall&4'' diameter by punching 21 1/2" air vent holes around the bottom,&another ring of holes around the top.I made one larger 1/2" hole at bottom so I could insert a lung- powered air blower tube made from a 40" length of 1/2" of plastic siphon tubing for home brewing,adding a fireproof end to it by cutting a rectangle from an aluminum beer can, creating an aluminum tube by gluing&fastening it with twist tie wires to the plastic tube.
