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.

Fall in the Atlanta area is very nice. Clear crisp days in the 60s and 70s. Today is a perfect day for flying, but I have a cold that has been messing up my sinuses. So no flying. The last thing I need is to have a dizzy spell when I am in the plane. We went on a hike yesterday in one of the many confederate army memorial parks in the region. This time it was at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
