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.

No Deer. It was a bit of a disappointment. It was good to see Greg and Dennis. How about this Maple log? Nice huh? Need some boards 20 feet long? The holder tractor is really exceptional in getting logs out of the woods. It is so narrow and the articulated steering makes it perform extraordinarily well in the woods.
