It's time to bake some biscuits, cook some beans, and make our tin cup so we can sample some of that Cook's campfire coffee.
The biscuit part is easy. The beans shouldn't be that difficult as you've already done similar steps when you made the Dutch Oven. For that reason I'm not going to dwell on how to make a bean pot as you should be able to figure that out yourself. You might have to raid your spice rack for some Mustard Seeds.
The Tin Cup will require some of that 7th grade metalwork training you thought you'd never use and have long forgot. A small soldering iron, solder and flux and a piece of scrap tin will get you over this hurdle. Just don't burn your fingers.

ReplyDeleteBrian....I'll try and cover a head with a hat later on. As these posts on the Cook run in order don't want to interject any non-Cook items. Hope thats okay.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thumbs!!
Lynn, I have a question...on the biscuits...you say 3/8 rod and a 2 1/8 in forstner bit...but that doesn't compute? your picture shows 8 biscuits, if I put 3/8 dowel pieces in the 2 1/8 drilled pot, I can put in about 15 or twenty? Are you sure the forstner isn't about 1 1/8? thanks Dave
ReplyDeleteHi Ho Silver.....You were partially right. I went back down and remeasured all my drilling and dowels:
ReplyDeleteBiscuits...Should be 5/8" vs. 3/8"
Dutch Oven.Use a 2 1/8" Forstner Bit.
Bean Pot...Use a 1 7/8" Forstner Bit.
Sorry for the confusion.
OK thanks.............:)
ReplyDeleteBill.. I never measure them but imagine they're about 3/8" Think 1/2 would be too tall and 1/4 would look like cookies. Just experiment with a couple. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteBill.....If there is a sheet metal shop around just stop by and they'll give you all you need from the scrap cuts laying on the floor. At least they do here. I'd get the thinnest possible but regular ducting works good. Buff it a little before soldering and use a flux and you should have no problems putting it together. hopes this helps.
