Nice pot! I believe the stove is a super cat, often made from an empty cat food can.

You can get titanium in 400 ml size for $19 (Evernew), but would have to find a cheap lid for it. The cookpot he is using may simply be from the grocery store. At first I thought it might be a sterno can, but those cans sides are not very rigid. Some meat cans and the bean dip can are nearly that size. It looks like all he is using the cookpot for is heating water, so the bean dip can is $2 at Walmart. Use a foil top.

I ran across his website a few days ago. The video he has showing how he makes the cook pot is interesting, but it made me wonder how he can make any money considering how much time he is spending on hand work to make each one on a lathe when they could be punched out for next to nothing and probably be better made.

I sort of expected the 12 oz pot would be something made out of a coke can.

His products look nicely designed an made, especially the way he rolls the edge of the stove to hold it together. That being said, he's still clearly in the "craft" mode rather than "manufacturing". I can see a million ways to speed things up...
