Wood Stove

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.

DJ's Bakery Project is coming along. The last time the store was run as a store was 1988. The building is known as the Crockett House in the town of Maine NY on NY 26. It was owned by a school teacher and the store sold dry goods and penny candy. She found a few artifacts such as post cards from the original owners of the house from the early 1900's. The local historic society was very pleased to receive them. She has taken at least ten truck loads of junk to the dump or scrap yard. There was no end there for a while. The initial goal is to get the equipment (ovens, sinks, display cases, stove, mixer, etc. in by the end of December. Testing and working out details, etc. will take all of January at least. She has a decent plan. She will be specializing in gluten free, sugar free stuff primarily. I think the gluten free stuff usually tastes better than the wheat based stuff, anyhow. She will be selling hot soup as well as homemade saspirilla. It is pretty interesting stuff. A lot...
