So if you knock them over, they will spill burning alcohol, which can be very dangerous.
This alcohol stove is spillproof, making it much safer to use.
The ceramic fiber insulation keeps the alcohol safely inside the burner, even if the stove is knocked over!
And since it's not a jet stove, it's very easy to build.
All you need is
a small tin can
ceramic fiber insulation
and wire mesh
Disclaimer:
Dealing with alcohol and fire is very dangerous. I am not an expert and take no responsibility for your actions.
Do not attempt anything simply because you saw it in one of my videos.

Some of you are familiar with Roswell pickups in Harley Benton guitars.
The Filtertron is Gretsch's own humbucker, designed by Ray Butts for Chet Atkins.
The patent on them was granted later, but the prototypes seem to predate Gibson's humbuckers.
Typically they are around 4 to 5K with much larger magnets and a smaller but higher coil than a typical humbucker.
How does it sound? Imagine a Gibson PAF Humbucker and a Fender Single Coil having a baby.
They are very jangly & open-sounding for humbuckers, much closer to a single-coil sound.
I used water soluble powder stain by CLOU dark red, red, yellow.

In this video I'm going to show you how to artificially created a woodfinish that looks amazingly similar.
I only used a jig saw, a drill and a screwdriver.
I build this easy DIY Guitar Rack out of construction lumber.
This pedal is a classic even though the sound has been referred as icepicky. I really like the DS-1 Distortion but what really bothers me is the lack of mids.
The Tone control of the DS-1 mixes between a low-pass filter (R16 & C12) and a high-pass-filter (R17 & C11)
So by removing or changing for example C12 or R17 you remove or change the respective filter leaving more or less mids to pass trough.
In this video I give you a few sound examples incl. my favorite mod.
In this video I show you how to level the frets on your guitar with minimal tools. You don't need expensive tools to do a proper fret job. For example you can easily make a fret leveling beam out of a spirit level or a straight piece of wood and some sandpaper. A nodged straigt edge can be made out of a metal ruler or anything els that is straigt. I improvised a nodged straight edge out of cardboard and it worked too. But In all fairness, I have to add that if you're planing on working on more that one or two guitars pruchasing quality fret leveling tools will make your life easyer.
I forgot to mention the microphone on the microphone stand is a behringer xm8500.
It's a small pedalboard that can hold up to 4 guitar effect pedals.

Obviously can buy some pickups from well known brands but every now and then I see some really cheap pickups on amazon.
But are they any good?
Lets find out!
I don't want to post a link but if you want to find the pickups look for "Yibuy 50/50/52mm Electric Guitar White Ceramic Magnets Single Coil Pickups Set"
Obviously can buy some pickups from well known brands but every now and then I see some really cheap AlNiCo pickups on amazon.
But are they any good or are they just as crappy as the stock pickups?

Over the past few years I had about 15 different cheap electric guitas on my worktable.
All were more or less in the $ 60 - $ 80 price range.
So I think it's save to say that I know what you can expect when buying a very cheap guitar online.
You can expcet everything!
I had guitars with broken potis or tuning pegs.
I had guitars with faulty wiring.
I had guitars with a ridiculously high action and the intonation way off. So thay came without any setup.
I had guitars with a factory fret job that bad, so that I hat to file away a good portion of the frets to get them level.
But I also had guitas that were playable from the start, like for example the guitar in this video.
Naturally the factory producing these very cheap guitars don't pay much attention to quality control.
So it very much depends on the seller or it is pure coincidence if a guitar is good or bad.
