Another giant step forward which will go largely un-noticed by most is the clever development of the riveting tooling. The LOFI stove is assembled with custom made rivets which I designed to allow for the stove to be opened and closed in the field without the use of any nuts, bolts or tools at all.
This tooling allows four rivets to be riveted as a time in the hydraulic press and then ejected automatically, thus eliminating hours of hammering and cursing!
