[pct-l] Tin Can Stove / Stylus

[rainmaker@rabun.net (David Mauldin)]

I've made several of these stoves with good results, though I prefer to =
use a small drill bit for the burner holes.  Let the drill do the work,  =
there's less chance of denting the ring and it looks nicer.   I also =
like to use tape cut to a 1" width.  I'm not sure it provides any =
additional strength, but it covers all the writing on the cans and makes =
the two sections "match", even if one is a beer can and the other is a =
soda can.  Makes the little stove look like it came from a machine shop.

Anyway, one question, Brick.  Exactly what is a "stylus", and how do you =
force it through the can without damaging it (the can)?  Could you be a =
bit more descriptive?  For me, the drilling/boring/grinding out the top =
section is the roughest part of the whole operation.=20

Thanks -
