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 had a fast trip to Atlanta, factually. The "My flight" information on the airplane showed a ground speed at high as 657 mph. A tail wind of over 150 mph certainly helps. It was a little over 3 hours from Orange County California to Atlanta. Things slow down when you get close for the class B airspace. Yes, there are speed limits, 250 knots for class B.
