There's something so peaceful and uplifting about watching old, neglected objects lovingly brought back to their former glory. Maybe it's silly, but watching a stove or coffee grinder be restored is my new favorite way to unwind after work. I've always liked antiques and vintage objects and it does my heart good to see that some people are still dedicated to preserving them. (Also, I like your orange kitty!)

I always wondered why this was and is the most popular colour for stoves. They sell the remakes with this very colour im the big box hardware stores. Also it wasn't limited to metal stoves. As an East German I've seen quite a lot of coal heating in my childhood and they all had a nasty cheap ceramic version of this green. Maybe this enamel pigment was cheap and durable? It can't only be a choice of fashion. People would have picked blue and red at one point.

Hot salt bluing ( the process which makes the steel on guns black) is essentially the same as this. Just a more controlled coating of the oxide. And because its an oxide no new oxide can form on it with ease so its rust resistant.

Love the green! What a gorgeous stove! You restored it to perfection. I wish that I owned that piece of art. Beautiful job!

So viele Arbeit. Ich wusste nicht, dass so ein Ofen aus so vielen Teilen besteht. Du machst es sehr gut und ruhig, ohne unnötigen Lärm, so dass man es auch als Frau gern schaut!

for those who may not know "inox" when he says "inox rivets" means stainless steel, in french we call that "acier inoxidable"
@NeedsMoreBirds4 жыл бұрын
Would that translate more or less to rustproof, since rust is a product of oxidation? If so, that’s a clearer name than stainless.

Thanks for that! I was like, hope not alloy rivets but ...inox ...they won't fail for some time.

In spanish "acero inoxidable"

In Portuguese it's called "aço inoxidável" basically the same as in French and Spanish.

Great, I was concerned as I thought he was using Aluminum rivets which would not last a darn.

Great video. Learned a lot. The cat was a delightful distraction doing what cats do. Beautiful restoration. Wood stoves hold a special place for me...I was named after my great grandmother, whom was named after one!

I felt a warm smile come over me when you started to put the stove back together. Can’t leave a message on my tv so I paused the video and took to my cell phone. You do wonderful work and thank you so much for sharing. Loved Ginger cats inspection. Well done! So happy to know there are artisans mastering, caring and loving the restoration process.❤❤❤😊

Your attention to detail is amazing, most people would have just replaced that broken piece with a some square stock,grinding it to the same design/radius is going the extra mile which is why I keep watching your channel. Pre-heating the cast iron is something a lot of people new to welding don't do,being as porous as cast iron is it holds a lot of dirt/oils. Another thing a lot of people would also have tried was to "band-aid" that metal inner box, glad you just scrapped it and made a new one, as always great job, looking forward to the next one.
