I just made this yesterday. I basically copied the MSR Lite Lifter design from a picture, and freehanded it onto the aluminum sheet. It's made out of 1.5 mm aluminum. The padding on the handle is 1 mm thick sticky-backed neoprene. Total weight 23 grams. That's a whopping 20 grams lighter than my Trangia handle! It's not quite as bomb-proof as the Trangia, but it does just fine lifting my Trangia 1.5 liter pot full of water. Here's a few pics:

Jan 30, 2009 at 6:24 am #1474000I bought a small sheet of it at a hobby shop(I live in Germany).
Jan 30, 2009 at 6:50 am #1474005Your looks good, I did about the same thing a couple years ago. Mine weighs 13.3 grams.
Complete instructions can be found on my thread.
Mine is made out of some 1/32" aluminum like they sell at most good Hobby Shops or Home Depot. It will lift a mostly full 1.5 L pot of water OK. The aluminum version weighs 13.3 grams or 0.47oz.
