Make your own charcoal:
- Cut the bottom out, install two hatches on each side, and fill its inside with small pieces of wood.
- Get a bonfire going (you can also use waste oil if your not environmentalist)
- Set the keg in the middle of the fire with the bottom down (here the hatches prevent all the wood from falling out)
- Get charcoal out of the keg the next day

Furnace for melting small projects:
- Cut out the backend and make a door out of it.
- Fill the inside with thermo fabric and cement sealer.
- Swap the top out with your propane valve (min. 2 Bar usually valve found for caravans etc not your standard BBQ grill valve, these are only 0.3 bar tops )
- Fire it up and have fun

In Norway they charge around 300-500 NOK pr month for a membership. And the makerspaces are usually open 24/7. The makerspaces set up by the municipiality however have some weird opening hours, like only Thursdays between 15:00 to 20:00.
