Number ten cans are limitless it seems. Most commercial and homes use this size for tomatoes and such.

For the stoves was thinking to extend the life of the stove and the end product overall to make all the sheet cuts needed. Does not take much to turn the metal and reshape. Although number ten cans and a 5 gallon would be ideal to rework dimensions.

I will look into the legality of the alternative building materials tonight and see if there is anyone currently doing any projects in the country.

This one will work if I could use a template and a pressure stamp to create the supports. Either a hydraulically powered stamp or a inside box modifier on the cardboard press? I have a planer and joiner so the wood working is mostly feeding machines and air sanding.
