Modular Stove Fabrication Procedure

BOM

Start with BOM.

• [12] - 4' long
• [18] - 2' long
• [6] - 1' long

Mild Steel

• 1/4"x2"x2" angle - $2.41/ft
• 1/8"x1/2"x1/2" angle - $0.66/ft
• 1/8"x4'x8' sheet - $100

Build

Step 1

Study Concept: 2 boxes with slideable cover plates clamped down. Ash tray and flame deflector plates side in similar fashion.

Step 2

• Cut angle for 2 mitered frames, just like for Power Cube 6. 1/4"x2"x2" angle BOM:

• • Use Ironworker for mitered cuts:

• • Result: corners fit together such that all metal angle form flat planes

Quality Control

• 3 corners fit so there is no more than 1/8" space anywhere
• length of members within 1/4" tolerance

Then, the build:

Step 3

• Weld frame - all 1/4"x2" angle - as this:

• • Mitered corners welded, ground flat
  • Rails for flame deflector and ash tray are not mitered
