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 put a winch on my new truck. I am using a 2-inch hitch receiver with Anderson SB350 electrical connectors. That way the winch can come off the truck easily and used on my Trailer, back of the truck or elsewhere such as on the Bobcat. Of course when you have a 350 Amp electrical supply you can make jumper cables that connect to the connectors as well. Nice system.

Just back from Europe again. This time it was Germany and Budapest Hungary. The Stuttgart Airport terminal design wins the first-ever Dowdell Airport Structure Design Award. I got the opportunity to take the metro in Budapest this trip. It is one of the oldest and nicest Metro systems in the world.
