Keep the iron, don't be another scruffy boater.. To be fair I only have a mini iron and board and iron stuff when going the pub, other times embrace the wrinkles.. Yay, a fellow ironer! Your approach was how I was thinking it would pan out for me- iron a shirt if I'm going somewhere civilised or have to go into an office, otherwise T shirts. The day will come when I will put on an unironed shirt, but I'm not quite there yet.... PS- just idle curiosity, but do you iron a shirt when you go a courting?

Cast iron (or are they cast steel actually) manhole cover with surround is quite a good base for a stove. Bolt the surround to the floor, bolt the fire to the cover and put it in place. Air gap underneath it and it can't move sideways or forwards. I like industrial but know some don't. I also think a sliced up beer keg could make quite a nice shield for the back of a smaller stove. A sliced up beer keg would give the hearth a really evocative nautical appearance I must admit, but I'm going to stick to straight lines and very simple design- easier to rectify when I mess it up!

my stove base (and the base for the Rayburn) are a bit of 6mm plate with angle iron welded round the edges filled with an inch and a half of cement and then quarry tiles on top (steel base made a size to fit tiles plus grout) wood trim fixed around to hide the edges.
don't have to weld could simply nut and bolt together
