If you're a fan of the Star Wars saga then you'll love the look of this wooden stove complete with a Darth Vader design. This galactic villain stove is surprisingly made entirely by hand out of an old, upcycled gas steel bottle.
Instructables user Doddiezoomer created this outlandish Darth Vader wood stove that is perfect for outdoor parties in your backyard. With an angle grinder, Doddiezoomer shaped the steel into Darth Vader's iconic black helmet and breathing mask. Darth Vader's mouth piece and eyes were left transparent so you can see the flame burning inside the wood stove and easily add firewood. After the stove was completed it was covered with a coat of opaque black spray paint to replicate the look of Darth Vader's ominous costume.
