## Steps
### Step 1: Build your heat shield

The YouTube video provides clarity on machine measurements, which can vary; these are not specified here.

We utilized 4-inch (10 cm) round stainless steel tubing. Square tubing is also suitable, provided it is long enough to encase the heater bands and insulation without direct contact.

We used 16 feet (5 meters) of muffler insulation.

The tubing was secured with M6 bolts, threading into the tubing. Alternative bolt sizes or machine screws are also acceptable.
