So I made a woodstove out of an old oil tank. It is fucking HUGE, but since it is for a friend who fishes commercially in -40C (and colder!), I don't really think it is overkill.

Here are a few images from the inaugural burn. (wanted to test before risking the fish-hut on it...)

My friend and I. Note the many-patched winter gear I have on. (sewing is cheaper than replacing...)

One of the supervisors was a real dog...

This has little to do with the stove.

This lady helped me all along the way. Whether it was making me a tea, or cutting steel, she is wonderful.

...and this was from a couple of days ago...has nothing to do with it, really...just the scene outside my work that afternoon.

I was out to the camp just in time to see it torn down, but the stove kept the fellows warm for the season. I think it will be fine for next year, too.

I feel pretty good helping my friends to stay warm.:)

It's a good set of skills you have.

Lots of home made stoves in the hunting and fishing camps out on the islands along this shore but they are usually made from either old steel barrels or scavenged steel from discarded fishing boats.

Thanks, borealis. I have a lot of fun sharing this stuff. I have taught about a dozen people how to cut, weld, bend, fit, drill and finish steel stuff. Weirdly satisfying.

Feels good making useful things you know will last a long time.

On another note, I have a Christmas tree stand my husband fabricated from really heavy steel when he was in trade school. It weighs about thirty pounds, holds about six litres of water, and is always rusty on the bottom by Christmas. I will never need another one. :grin:

or cutting steel, she is wonderful.

Is that what they call it these days?

Railroad tracks in the sky page 1

Mysturji 8th February 2012, 07:01 PM When I was a little kid, I used to like to imagine that high-flying jets leaving vapour trails behind them were laying railroad tracks in the sky, and that behind every such plane was a sky-train. Now, decades later, I still think that is a remarkably poetic image to spring from the mind of a little boy. In the interest of balance however, I should admit that I also liked to imagine - when taking a piss - that any remnant of toilet paper (or anything else) in the toilet was an enemy marine base, and that my penis was an enormously powerful space-based orbital laser with orders to destroy the base. What childhood imaginings do you remember? divagreen 8th February 2012, 07:08 PM I used to pretend my crayons were people and had whole cities made out of cardboard boxes and wore paper clothes. They even had a solid disco gold show and price is right games and a geneology chart. Pretty sure my parents thought that I was dumb and that I just did not kn...
