I'm working around the welders schedule so we haven't got much done on the stove for several days.  We spent a little bit of time on it tonight.  The door opening was cut and started framing in around it.  We thought it would be better to have some thicker steel to attach the hinges and door to.  It's slowly taking shape.  I think I'm going to try and forge a large round file into a part for the damper.  I've never done any forging so it should be interesting.  I'll try to build a small forge out of fire bricks and see how it goes.

I also got two mandrel bend 45 degree elbows for the chimney in the mail today.  I need to get them flared out on one end.

Does the inside of the top just open into the chimney pipe or is there some baffle or other bits in there to keep ashes from rising thru?  Real cool project.  Russ

Its open inside.  We talked about putting a baffle in it but didn't think it was necessary since we made it taller.

We are going to use a piece of square tubing for a damper under the door.  There will be a plate inside of it to control the air flow.  Today I tried to do some forging for the first time ever.  I took a round file and made it into the handle for the damper. 

I used some fire brick, a piece of car exhaust pipe, and the blower from an inflatable snowman.  My pile of scrap wood got soaked with rain so I had to weed out a few low quality osage staves for the fuel.  I enjoyed heating and shaping the metal.  Everything went pretty smooth.  I singed some hair off my arm and a piece of slag caught my shirt on fire.  I think I'll set up a permanent forge up off the ground sometime. 








I flattened out the bottom for the handle and flattened out the center part of the rod so the plate can attach to it.




After it cooled off I cut the bottom off and rounded the edges out.  I'm going to put some wood scales on it next.

You're truly an ingenious fella!  But just couldn't help myself .... laughing so loudly that The Wife came a runnin' to find out what was so hilarious.

Thanks guys.

Knoll, Next year at the Classic remind me to tell you my sparkler bomb story.


Tracy, I'll stick with the metal work instead of cooking.

I put some osage scales on the handle.  The epoxy wasn't set up enough for me to shape them.  That will have to wait until Monday.

Man made materials catch on fire easily. Cotton, wool, leather, will smolder but not burst into flame.
