    I've had this project planned for a long time and always put it off. Then earlier this week a friend of mine decided to build him one and while he was getting his parts assembled it got me motivated to whip it out one afternoon.

    Just a CQ with long extension. Surprisingly stable with the lightweight shade and mica, even with little fuel in it.

    @ROBBO55 thank you. It is a bit of an acquired taste :)

    @Tony Press thanks I'll check it out :thumbup:

    @podbros thank you. I don't know the specifics of the tube other than it's thin wall aluminum that I grabbed from the scrap pile. Conduit would've worked just as well I'm sure.
