My welder friend had a death in the family and took some time off work.  He is back and we are working on the stove again.  We got the door frame enclosed and the door attached.  I think we figured out how to use the wrench for the latch.

We got a little more work done on the stove.  Progress has slowed down lately.  We put some square tubing in the front for a damper.  I'm going to make a plate to fit inside of it to regulate the air flow. It might cut off an inch or so off.  It looks to long.  We did a test fire to see how it worked and to burn some of the paint off.  Everything looked good.  I was burning pine pallet boards and was surprised at how long they lasted with the door shut.  It put off a lot of heat.  It won't take much of a fire to heat my small work shop.

That look's like it will work great, Clint. I' have to shorten that square tubing so I didn't kick it with flip flops on, though.

I think you are right Eddie.  That tubing will have to be shortened. I could see myself bumping into it a lot.  I don't want to knock it over with a fire going.   I'm pretty sure I'll be leaving my work shop door open just to keep from sweating.

You will love having a stove in your shop. I have a decent sized one and if its real cold I can sure go through the wood. It's nice when you start roughing out of Bow you can make the shavings disappear as fast as you make them.

That will be nice Paul.  I'm also looking forward to doing some steam bends with it.  We made the top flat so I can put a pan of water on it.

...and arrow straightening on the top, sides and stove pipe, making pitch glue on top and a host of other things.    ;)
