Wood Stove / Log Burner Restoration

[@richardbedard1245]

Reminded me of when I bought a logwood stove from a thrift store a few years back. Because of it's weight, and condition, I dismantled it to get it home. Once home I cleaned the parts of rust, retapped the screw holes, and added new screws during assembly. It's done a pretty good job keeping me comfortable during the North Carolina mountain winters. Thank you for sharing your restoration.

Fabulous! You are truly an artist of restoration. This log burner is a wonderful piece. Very impressive work, sir.

[@johnbutler5208]

Great job. Wish it was mine.

[@MikeMcAuliffe-g2f]

Very neat. I am unfamiliar with the use of the caulking, but it looks like it is a good idea.

I'm glad that you uploaded this video; just yesterday I went through all my subscriptions to delete the ones that haven't had any videos in a while. I almost deleted yours, but thought better of it thinking that I'd give it a week or so just in case; glad I waited. Thanks for sharing; God bless.

Beautiful stove. Great work! 👍🏾😎

[@josephleister9198]

Very nice work...

Hello from Oregon state, USA. Very nice restoration, very unique wood stove or log burner. We've heated our home with wood since 1992 and can honestly say that there is something, about something so basic, that feels so honest and independent. Again very nice work.

[@davedoughty1213]

You have great skills to rebuild your stove. Welding, metal working and redesigning! It looks incredible and works as well as it looks!!! Well done sir!!! My father used a small stove to heat the garage we had in New Jersey. It made work easier keeping the garage around 55 degrees when it was 10 degrees outside!! Thanks for sharing your video!!

[@racinghome657]

Very nice result on the stove, always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@axelknutt5065]

Nice restoration. BTW many of the parts for this model and the other Masport pot-belly stoves are still available - like dampers, grates, ash-box (but where’s the fun in that) etc. Two models, the Klondike and the Pittsburgh are still sold in Australia but they’re now made in China since Masport closed their foundry in NZ a couple of years ago.

[@craigdutton6072]

They are popular and new dampeners are online still new to buy ❤

[@crisislord00]

Hey nice video!! Can't wait to have a shop tour!

[@SpartanMJO12]

Love a good handmade extreme upload!

[@PlanetCypher_]

Great to see your content again, I could have definitely done with that stove last night and this morning, lost power yesterday afternoon due to storm Eunice. 👍

[@julias-shed]

Nice to see that lovely workshop earning its keep. 😀

[@deb1120]

WOW! beautiful job!

[@marinaagathangelou4049]

Your a clever man!

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Now that is a style of stove I have not seen before. I imagine that it fits really well into the rest of the house as you preferred to keep it rather than installing a new oven that gives more heat for less firewood.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Your right it is very much a "feature" in the house. It might get changed one day but it should be okay for a few more years.

[@markcarney2769]

meticulous repair brother! great video, thank you!

[@stever5636]

Well done! Excellent job 🍻

[@dave1secondago]

brilliant repair bro

[@adalfieri]

This looks very similar to a coal burning stove I just acquired that I am going to try to use for wood. Not sure if anyone has done this before but it looks just like this one.

[@ludvigtande1236]

Well done❤️

[@philandminiphil]

Hope you're planning a restoration video on the sheet metal bender.

[@williamemerson1799]

Cool looking wood stove. And nice work. 🍻

[@thornbird6768]

Was hoping you would spray paint it a nice colour as its such a pretty stove 😊

[@rotarythread]

Good job! I like the result on this one!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Nicely done!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Really good job !

[@kirkstinson7316]

No problems with the stainless adapter heating/expanding differently than the cast iron causing cracks? And that top half should bolt to the bottom half, you can see the tabs for it in video. Last question. No grate in it?

[@ratystast]

Nice restoration. It's quite funny - yesterday I was thinking that You haven't upoloaded in a while. ;)

[@user-neo71665]

That is a tiny little wood stove. I wouldn't wanna have to split everything to fit in that thing and stay up all night stoking it. Great job on the restro.

[@steann1]

I was waiting for the bacon and eggs..

[@Farm_fab]

Looks good mate. Nice to see that you were able to return the stove to usefulness. I recently purchased a natural gas pot belly stove that I plan to burn waste oil in for my shop. The fire box is small, and has no fire grate, or I would be tempted to burn wood in it. The fire box is about 300 mm square, so I should be able to adequately get some useful heat from it. I plan to use a burner similar to one made on Gerry's diy channel. He's from northern Ireland, or Ireland itself.

[@macbirt56]

I didn't know those were metric. I've only ever seen American made ones.

[@ernieforrest7218]

That type of stove really isnt designed for burning wood. It is better suited for burning coal.

[@ismaramackenzie6188]

What model is this stove wood burner ? How is it's call?

[@andrewdraper8336]

Really nice stove

[@mx96288]

question on the rotary phase converter. have you found that having a larger flywheel mass improves finish quality by leaving you with some more torque headroom? i assume there is a certain sweetspot where you maximized kinetic energy potential without having to worry about popping breakers or stressing the star delta contactors unnecessarily

[@markcumbriauk]

Very nice job.

[@iansmith7369]

Excellent

[@tayyabsafdar7069]

Wasn't there any grill type of thing between the ash pit and the wood burning, it seems like the wood will burn in the ash pit area if there is no such thing in between.

[@jbarber6739]

Nothing like die hard skills to restore a working stove.

[@andrewgraham9977]

Here in Texas that style is called a "rancher". The bottom is the same as a railroad pot belly but has that unique top half added. You seem to be missing the grates; if you had them I think you would discover that pot belly stoves of both styles are really intended for coal instead of logs. I've burned log wood in mine but larger diameter wood has to stand on end and burns up pretty quick. Coal fires burn nice and slow but depend on an air supply that comes from the bottom and flows right through the fire. Grates with shakers are a must to allow that. Look down at the bottom near the base and see if there isn't an open slot for a shaker handle.

[@horacerumpole6912]

Correct-this is a coal burner-

[@michaelwilliams5084]

I have a warm morning model number 521 wood burning stove I do not want to get rid of it I need to find a 9" oval shape reducer 9 to 6" around I cannot find anywhere can you help

[@michaelwilliams5084]

The reducer goes on top of the overshape stove pipe

[@carlos-xc3sl]

Tu restauración te quedó buena, pero me llamó la atención que la estufa antigua al parecer no tiene una parrilla que separe los leños de la ceniza y brasas, lo que permitiría una combustión más eficiente.

[@larryburns7225]

the chimney looks like something from King henry the 8th the stove looks like something from benjamin franklin now you just need a modern touch to make it efficient. did you know there are (stove fan) you can place right on your stove they need no batteries or electricity just heat it will push the warm air into your home instead of up into the chimney they have dual fans or single type on amazon and i think one you can even mount on your pipe vent i have seen people put them on mr buddy propane heaters and every one seems to like them it pushes the warm air to the side instead of straight up . nice work on that stove

[@ronniehall1520]

Nice

[@jaaa2055]

you forgot to remove rust from this bowl before painting

[@lakesidesusan6745]

Looks good!

[@war2030]

Cool

[@CANADA515]

Your " sheet metal folder " , it's called a box and pan break.

[@ГригорийРодионов-ж8ц]

[@horacerumpole6912]

This work should be gas welded with pure cast iron rod and special flux-

[@williambransome388]

Boring

[@fabianbataglia3697]

Please friend, be quiet and only work.

[@MrCarlosramos127]

Just turn the volume down!!
