Ok, so I've got the parts assembled pretty much. What I'm thinking is making the paint can stove as described earlier but instead of using it strictly as a wood stove, I'm gonna make an alcohol stove insert to drop into it. Hopefully the paint can will become a pot stand/windscreen that will also allow me to use it as a wood stove if needed/wanted.

I'm going to use the can I got today which is currently holding some sliced black olives, once I eat the olives I'll convert it into the burner. Thought about using a tuna can but found out they won't fit down into the opening of the paint can. Another possibility is a small soup can which I also purchased earlier today.

I want to try and make up the type of alcohol burner that uses fiberglass insulation as a wick, soak it in alcohol and put some sort of screen on top to hold the wick in.

Off to finish making supper and then to the drill press!!
