Wood Stove

Image
I rebuilt a wood stove I had in storage. The only textual items on the stove is "Made in West Germany". After puzzling about how to repair the broken leg (everything from welding with tungston rod to fabricating a splice), I found a similar replacement foot. It was similar, so I ended up buying two in order to make it look and set right. It was a fun "little" project. It cost me about $150 in materials and probably took me about 8 hours. I am looking forward to getting it fired up at some point. Since it is going back into storage I am wrapping it up with as much rust inhibitor as I can. I bought some VCI paper for the effort.
It is interesting to note that I last Blogged on Thanksgiving two years ago. I have made it through to the other side. I think it really took that long too. My new job at the Raymond Corporation has been happening for two years now and it has been exciting. I feel as thoufgh I am starting to relax a little. I have turkey in my belly (as last time I blogged) but practically everything else is different.
