I used a sheet of galvinised metal 3x5 ft . when I cut it , I did it in such a way that all I had to do was bend the sheet togather so that I had to only pop rivet one side and I made a top from the remaining piece and added a handle . I cut a hole and put in a Temp guage and painted it black with heat resistant paint. I put on the inside a small grate to keep a pot or pan off the bottom . The oven can also be heated with small twigs in a fire or on top of a coleman stove . The first step was to make a template with cardboard and that was laid out on top of the sheet metal and traced out then cut. the rest was easy after that. The bending was done off a folding table with a sharp edge and tapped with a mallet to make good cornors . then pop riveted togather and painted . WARNING : This stove is not a toy , it has sharp edges and can cut you badly if you are not paying attention . keep it away from kids or any body who might not be carefull with it . Good luck ... Bob
