Well that's about as simple as it gets. Thanks for the help.

That's pretty much what I envisioned, perhaps a slightly different tang configuration. I have dimensions of the burner and need to work around that in order for everything to fit. That said, I have a 4"x10" of .032 aluminum piece, I cut this into (3) pieces, 3-5/16" wide x 4" tall. Strangely...

I was thinking about that late last night. Just needs to either lay flat or fold flat. I think I'll grab some card stock and scissors and try a few shapes. It does have to be sturdy enough to support a filled Trangia burner and titanium coffee cup on top in assembled form. I'm going to hardware...

Well, I can purchase a enclosure for about the same amount of said hinges, that said, I'll have to go with strong and light:) The idea of using part of the material the sides are made from is interesting, minimal and should be strong enough for it's intended purpose. Some type of slip fit might...

While those are pretty neat, the price is more than I care to spend, I figure (4) hinges total at $10.47 ea. plus shipping.

Yes. I have a piece of .032 aluminum, 4"x10" and the burner.

Of the alcohol burner? if so, I can provide one. The "U" shaped enclosure will be hinged at corners or attached with tabs, or whatever method I can come up with.

Normally I'd consider this although it needs to be able to stand the heat produced by a small alcohol burner.

I was trying to come up with something like this, played around with some cardboard tonight although nothing constructive yet.

Thanks for the suggestion. I do have those tool items, I did notice the hinge is not available although local hardware may have them.

I'm building a small, approximately 3" by 3" by 3" aluminum enclosure for placing a Tangia alcohol stove into. (3) sided with two hinged areas. I want it to fold flat when stored. It's used for backpacking and bike trips. I don't have any fancy sheet metal equipment so want to keep it really...

Looking for a good method to hinge thin aluminum with a eye towards lightweight and simple. Any suggestions? Thanks.
