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 got this nice pic of a Green Heron on our dock yesterday evening. Weird looking when on the ground, very majestic in the air. For scale, the board he/she is standing on is a 2x4. It is a very large bird. Compare with post of my owl friend a little while back. here
