Recycling household materials can be a great way to build useful and sustainable tools. In this article, you’ll learn how to transform an old stainless steel sink into a functional wood stove using cement, sand, and some basic materials.
Materials Needed
Used Stainless Steel Sink
Cement, sand and water
Metal grill for stove
Polyurethane foam or foam sheets
Wooden sticks for support
Round steel bar for internal grating
Paw bricks
Tools: scissors, marker, drill, saw, spatula
Preparing the Sink
Remove the connections from the sink and clean it completely.
Fold the sharp edges of the sink to avoid accidents.
Accurately mark the stove door area and cut out that section.
Sand the cut edges to smooth them out.
Molds and cement mixing
With the help of foam and wooden sticks, make a mold for the stove core and another for the door.
Place the metal rack in the center of the sink.
Mix cement, sand, and water until you get a uniform paste.
Pour the mixture around the pan and into the sink, ensuring even distribution.
Place a steel ring to reinforce the base and another layer of cement.
Add the metal rods as an inner grid.
Fill more cement until level with the top of the mold.
