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 was in Baltimore for my Cousin's wedding this weekend. I decided to high-tail it out of town while planes were still flying in and out of BWI. I had a good time and it was a great excuse to go to see family. My sister and I went to visit Edgar Allan Poe's grave as well.
