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.
I haven't been blogging much. I do have a lot to say, however. I will get to it. I have a bunch of nice pictures to post soon. The following movie was filmed when I was on the ice; the premiere is this month. It is a movie about my co-workers and I think I am in the film. They got a great shot of my beard all frosty. I pretty much went every where the film crew went. http://icepeople.com/
