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.

Normal Busi-ness

Whats the difference between business and busyness? I made a new sign frame at church, got the sawmill running and am in the process of replacing the glow plugs and fuel injectors in the humvee. I am making plans for the sawmill. It has been mostly sitting around for 10 years. Time to get it to work again.
