well this is my solar oven cart that I made for my solovar of and I made it
just the fitness Oh Lavar oven and my all-american Sun Oven doesn't quite fit
and I'm going to show you what I'm gonna have to alter hold on it's a little bit
too wide so I'm gonna come in beyond these legs and I'm and what it is is it
sits back about this much further so what I'm gonna do is come in pass this
leg notch it out about an inch and a quarter below there this here and I'm
gonna build this up enough where the oven will sit in that notch on that and
use some of that plywood over there that 3/4 and I think that'll that'll work
I'll figure it out when I first thing I'm gonna do is take this out and I'm
gonna wash this whole thing off because it's had three years of dust and pollen
and cobwebs on it and start fresh so well let me let me get this cleaned up
and then I'll start cutting on it all right here it is all cleaned up and dry
I left it in the Sun for about an hour I think I think I'm not going to come in
and cut a notch out I think what I'm gonna do is just
I don't know how to explain that I guess I'm just gonna have to do it and show
you so what I need is 17 by 17 right to here so I only need to come out beyond
you know maybe three quarters of an inch on either side I think I'm just gonna
cut the piece of that fly without 17 by 17 and just screw it to the top of this
it's not gonna look you know nice but I think I can stain it and polyurethane it
and and just sort of blend it in on this end I'm gonna have to seal off the end
of the plywood and the reason is I'll leave this outside and if I don't do
that mud dobbers and wasps and lizards and all kinds of other stuff are gonna
get up under that area and live so that's what I'm gonna do 17 but 17 on
this end I'm just gonna seal it off and that way I will not alter the structural
integrity of this because this being in tact is you know the myth the main thing
that keeps it from flexing you know I mean it's nothing on it is really heavy
so I think that's what I'm gonna do or yeah yeah that's it that's what I say
all right let me let me get the 17 by 17 cut out and I'll show you what I got
from there all right that's that's what I got
I'm gonna sand it up real nice and I found the stain that I used for
that really cheap Ace Hardware stain and I wouldn't have bought it if I knew how
runny and bad it was some polyurethane and I think that'll work
let me get the sanding on it and get it screwed down well that's when I got so
far I'm sitting open up there just have a look at it I kind of like that it's
off the end that's gonna give me a whole lot of working space here that I can set
things and I have some two quarter inch thick two inch tall that I'm gonna put a
little border around this with there's that right there but I'm gonna set that
over in there have a look at it right now
yeah that's gonna look that's gonna look nice on the back it has this leveling
bar with a couple of screw holes I'm gonna screw that down here
and when you want to adjust the angle of this you just press that button in and
lift the back end of this up and it raises you know so you can follow the
angle of the Sun and that will keep it from blowing over although you know if
there was enough wind to blow this thing over I probably wouldn't be outside in
it anyway cuz that's things 25 pounds or so it would be a heck of a wind to blow
that over all right let me get to cutting my little strip all right that's
gonna go around the edge and then I'm gonna stain it and seal it and I'll be
done just set it in the Sun let it dry okay got my little border around there
just wanted to set that in there and make sure it's going to fit good now I'm
going to do a stain it and seal it and we will be cooking very soon okay I like
it
doesn't look too gaudy and look like I made it for that but it doesn't look as
bad as I thought it was gonna look and I only had one gap that actually needed
caulking and that will dry clear it's actually getting real clear now that's
why I keep the ants from going up one of they're actually I have that backwards I
gotta face it the other way because this is where all my utensils are here was
that a good roll okay I'm happy with it now let's cook something never give up
