I needed to
make a burner, for the Metisse engine.
The adopted Maiwald one wasn't
right. Too small in diameter. Flame too close to the hot cap......

I love making odds n ends, out of bits n pieces. Found a stainless steel salt and pepper set. The cap diameter was just right.

Friction turned a brass disc, base......

Silver solder wire, sprung inside the cap. Just enough flux........

Still glowing. Had an el of a job, unsticking the supporting nails. Bit too much solder.........

Opened the existing hole out to 12mm........

16mm o/d, 10mm bore, bush. More silver solder.........

I've got the hang of silver soldering, now. I'm proud of that joint.......

Clean up. Drill breather holes, in the r/t........

6mm bore, adaptor bush. Temporary cotton wick. (I'm out of stove rope)........

The engine ran for 70 mins, on one filling........

And, I've still got one left........

Really satisfying, little project.
Thanks for watching!
