During the April 28th workshop at Seattle Earth Lost and Foundry a
pair of our builders came up with a great modification to their
Airbase addon.

Normally the main combustion chamber slides down in such a way that
it's not level due to the rivets on one side. Usually we grind those
down to allow it to slip past them and even things out.

unfortunately that also causes the main stove body to get jammed into
the airbase making it nigh impossible to get apart without a hammer
and some swearing.

they just added a couple of extra rivets around the airbase at the
same level as the top ones that are attached to the altoids tin.

not only does it even out where the stove body sits on the airbase,
but make is easy to get it off if you need to.

way to go guys!

I'll try and upload a picture of the modification here when I get back
to the shop to get some photos as well add it to our build and wiki
(when we get it built).

Thank you Steve T and his build partner
(I hate it when I forget names...)
