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.

I have just purchased my 5th new Chevy truck. I bought the first one in 1984. I say I buy a new truck every ten years whether I need it or not. This new one is a bit of a unicorn and we had to drive to Columbus Ohio to pick it up. Its a beast for sure. It is a full-ton with single rear wheels, 4x4 with the 6 liter gas engine and 6 speed auto trans. It has electric stuff and electronics. Ready to pull with a top of the line service body. It is not for the discotheques nor raves. ref old blog post I traded-in the 2006 truck and we have them both side to side here. The other pic was taken as we stopped in front of a former apartment I lived in Columbus Ohio many years ago.
