Nomate, not just yet. The bowl was a little deeper than I wished. (This thing is growing higher by the week!). Still needs a base board. :scratch: The candle needs to be held on a plinth, some 3/4" high. Just making do, so far, with a spent holder and a jam jar lid. The higher skirt/ deeper bowl, will allow me to make up a meths burner. Sometime...... Mebbe...... ::) David D |

Hi David, very ingenious design of the stand, very effective means of cutting out and getting things in line. I keep considering a slot in the wick tube of a burner, and a small gear with a stem to wind the wick up and down, but haven't got to it yet, still moving the burner around to keep my engines running evenly. I took apart one of those fireplace lighters, with the long snout and the pietzo and found it has a good size reservoir and is refillable, and hope to put it on one of my flame suckers, with the lever on the reservoir to adjust the flame, with a simple burner head, and finding a place for the piezo to go. The alcohol works so well, but it is a bit finicky about adjusting and getting it just right. I'm looking forward to the finished product, burner, pan, all happily tied together. :jaw: :bugeye: Very nice indeed :beer: Cheers, mad jack |
