Greetings,
We will be holding a BioChar Stove Building Workshop
on Saturday, March 31st from 10am to 4pm
at S.E.L.F. - Seattle Earth Lost and Foundry / The Foundry MakerSpace,
4710 Ballard Ave. NW, Seattle, WA. 98107
(Located at the former Viking Fire Foundry)
We invite you to participate by building either the Estufa Finca Five
Gallon BioChar Farm Stoves pyroneered by Art Donnnelly at Seachar.org
OR build an derivative design of the smaller Dome School Soup Can
Emergency / Backpacking Stove.
The Estufa Finca Stove is great for BBQing in your back yard WHILE
creating BioChar for your garden (if you chose to include the cooktop
and air base add-ons to your stove). The Dome School stove is great
for understanding the principles of gassification and biochar creation
while replacing traditional expensive proprietary backpacking
equipment. Either stove is good to have around and know how to use in
personal / community emergency preparedness as well as building
sustainable solutions for our soil and environment.
This is a fund raiser event to convert our Worker Owned Cooperative
into The Foundry MakerSpace / Seattle MakerSpace in Ballard Seattle.
A portion of the proceeds will go toward Seachar.org’s continuing
efforts as well as helping The Foundry’s Worker Owned Cooperative open
it’s facilities to provide a Community Industrial MakerSpace in
Ballard. Our primary focus being sustainability projects, skill
sharing, Metal, and Fire. Current activities have included stove
making, metal casting (aluminum and bronze) welding, black smiting,
metal working, woodworking. and 3d printing. Future activities may
include glass working, even more sustainability projects, etc.
If you are interested in participating in the workshop please RSVP

additional details below...
Join us on Saturday March 31st, 10am - 4pm, at the Seattle Earth Lost
and Foundry (4710 Ballard Ave. NW, Seattle, Wa. 98107), for an Stove
Building Workshop. Learn a little about biochar and build a TLUD ( top
lit updraft) clean burning, fuel efficient, biochar producing cook
stove.
* For a $25 donation build and take home a "Dome School Stove". This
mini-TLUD is the perfect backpackers/hand warming version of our big
stove technology.
* These elegant micro-gasifiers are, affordable, easy to build and
safe to use. You will need to bring [Preferably Pre-emptied and
washed] (4) tin cans for this stove: (1) 46oz. can [tomato juice], (1)
approx. 32 oz. [crushed tomatoes], (1) 18.5oz. Progresso soup, (1)
15oz. can [tomatoes]. The Progresso Soup Can being the most necessary,
we often have extras of everything else. Alternately a 20 oz. can be
substituted for the Progresso Soup can.
* For a $75 donation build and take home a five gallon "GARDEN MASTER
Stove". This gardener's version of our "ESTUFA FINCA" project stove,
makes clean heat and soil building biochar from your garden and yard
wastes. All materials for this stove will be provided.
*The Cook Top and Air Base addon that convert the basic stove into a
free standing back yard BBQ are available for an additional Donation/
Purchase. Supplies and Tooling for these will be available for you to
build if you have time and/or have built the basic stove already and
want these.
* Along with building stoves, we will be learning a little about
biochar and how to use it in the your garden and/or backyard BBQ.
* This will also be an preliminary fund raiser for The Foundry
MakerSpace / Seattle MakerSpace. Learn how clean burning, biochar-
making stoves can build opportunities for everyone, fight climate
change and improve lives.
* Bring a snack, a pair of gloves and if possible a pair of safety
glasses, ear plugs. If you are planning on trying your stove after the
build, bring a cup and/or a pot to heat your food up in and something
to eat off of.
* Everyone should have a lot of fun, most will be going home with a
tested stove, and an definitely an expanded understanding of biochar.
If you wish to stay late, at the end the day we can test out our new
creations by cooking up whatever is brought to share with the rest of
the group.
