Which stove to build.

Yep...I made pretty much exactly that bead roller. It usually cuts through the can right in the center, where the can is unsupported while starting to form the ridge. First, I tried adding some tubing that matches the outer diameter of the grooved wheel to better support the can. It helped but I think I need to make one with a more shallow grooved wheel to give better support while initially forming the groove. Then as it takes shape I'll switch to a more deeply grooved wheel. So either I need to build a second bead roller, or figure out a way to have interchangeable heads on the one I already made. That's as far as I got before other projects took priority....

Hang in there, you'll get the feel of it and make some nice ridges. Lots of videos out there showing how it's done.

Fancee Feest stoves are an easy DIY stove.

Well after a bit of searching have come to 4 conclusions.

1) I can't find the video I was looking for.

2) If I was to make a bead roller, it would be like this:

3) If I needed a pot with beads, I would not make one, I would buy one here:

4) I am out of my league on this one, but followed up on it because I said I would.

That video is a good one. I like his approach. Thanks for the info.
