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.

Plane Crash that seems close

Image
We had a plane crash in the area over the weekend. I was very familiar with the plane and had met the individual that passed away. My partner was interviewed on the news about it. The different accounts I have heard is that he was a very capable pilot and perhaps a combination of bad luck events is the best way to describe it. Aircraft are unforgiving, especially when you are making an emergency landing on a busy road. http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/forsyth-county-sheriffs-office-responding-to-a-plane-crash
