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.

A pic from Curitiba Brazil a couple of weeks ago. I always seem to see cars upside down in Brazil.

We were up in Rochester and Berkshire, NY. It was nice to spend time on the farm. We had half a day in Rochester, here is the quick video.
