Well guys I've been holding off on posting it hoping to finish it before I post but y'all have been messaging me up the wall asking for it so here it is!
First I cut the section of large pipe for my outer body and cut a hole to fit my inner tube induction port. Then I cut and shaped my L tube and using the piece of metal that I cut on the L tube I used it for the bottom bowl for the bottom of the inner L tube to create induction.
Slowly I using the grinder I removed a 1/8th of an inch off the induction port to allow a smooth fit to the L tube. The outer pipe will receive little to no heat because the gap will be filled with insulation.
This is as far as I could go because I ran out of .30 mig wire and I have a spool of .35 but no tips... I have a miller trailblazer welder/generator that I could use the stick welder from but it will be only used on outer welds because most of the internal doesn't need to be strong just a lot of filler which if you have ever stick welded isn't the best option for filling large gaps.
I should have some tips for the .35 wire and finish the project soon! I just hope I don't run out of argon 700psi left......
Once finished it will make a nice small cooking stove that can boil water, cook fish, and cook whatever you desire only using a handful of wood.
After this one is finished I will be working on a second one to sell. The ones I found online are $120+ so I figure $80 is a pretty good deal considering I'm using much heavier metal than the leading rocket stove producer.
What do you guys think of my progress so far?
