  1. Has any one had /made one these
    We ve been talking about them at work and they sound good there's a few on eBay but seem pricey
     
  2. Dont think ever seen one, or heard of one to be honest :thinking:
     
  3. Theres some on eBay

    Likening the idea of em not sure about the cost
     
  4. That looks well cool, wonder is easy to make your own, still £25 not bad, but £15 postage hmmm

    But good idea yehh
     
  5. I keep hinting to them at work that's there's a gas bottle round the back and someone should try and cut it lol
     
  6. yehh you should give it go, could be a market in it if you pull it off ;)

    I think Paradox has made something similar - filled it up with water before hand to force out any remaining gas.
     
  9. There is a Blacksmith on the same farm as my workshop and he was making a load of these a while back and the looked pretty good. Not sure how much he wanted for them but I will find out. :)

  14. Yeah dude i made them
    Yeah i removed the valve
    Sorry cant tell you how its a trade secret lol

    Once i get some more bottles in malc your at the top of the list
    But the wilmas are in front of you lol
     
  15. I use a home made meths stove made out of a coke can when I'm off walking but its probably a bit small for your cooking needs. Works a treat though.

  17. I open the valve with the bottle upside down
    The gas is heavier than air so should pour out
    After leaving it over night i remove the valve from the top of the bottle
    Then i fill with water untill it overflows just to make sure it is empty
    Then empty the water out and start cutting
