Step 9Building the Stand
Now that the oven is ready to go, you need a base stand so that you can easily and accurately point it at the sun.
NEVER STARE DIRECTLY AT THE SUN TO DETERMINE WHERE TO POINT!!!!
One option is to build a simple stand out of a box slightly larger than the insulation holding box.
Because this design was not as stable, we decided to show an option to a more complicated but far steadier box frame design.
The first two pictures show the easy way of building a stand out of a single box and putting pencils through as pivots. Alternatively, you can create a box frame by finding long rectangular pieces of cardboard and scoring the board with a knife creating 4 equally spaced panels. Tape this together to make a square-tube of sorts. You can fill it with more cardboard to stiffen if desired. Tape them inside a larger box and push the pencils through. This design is a little more elaborate and is customized for every build. Because of this, we can not really go into greater detail about how to build it.
