With hard economic times upon us I think the time is ripe to put this "retro" stove on the market. That's right, the Hobo Stove that you loved and used during the 1930s is poised to return to it's time of greatness. A 2 gallon can of beans or hominy, a drill, a can opener, and a pair of tin snips and we are set for production. I figure we could recruit an army of out of work bankers to go dumpster diving to find the tin cans. Since the tin is even lighter that it was in the 30's, even a dull drill will work. Snip the legs and bend the section between the legs in to make the support for the bottom, which, of course, is the cut out top. Drill a few holes in the bottom and the side; zip, zip and you have a finished product. At a couple of bucks apiece, we'll be millionaires in no time if times are going to be as bad as all the newspeople seem to think. How about it?
You in? I know that is so easy to make that you might think that people would just make their own, but, hey, 70% of the newly poor don't even know how to program the clock on their VCR. Most just resort to taping something over the flashing numbers. I tell you the market is going to be big.
