•Before and After 1980 Vermont Iron Elm Wood Stove•

For today's Stove, I'm sharing a really awesome 1980 Vermont iron Elm that I finished for a client. The stove arrived in less-than-ideal shape, but overall it was in really decent condition, other than the cracked back.

The client also said he would like to have the tree nickel-plated, which isn't a problem at all, so the first thing we did was pull the tree off, prep it, and send it to the plater.

Next, we broke down the rest of the Stove piece by piece, finished inspections of everything, and then prepped the Stove for Sandblasting.

After I finished blasting the stove back down to bare iron, I got all the parts back into the shop for another round of inspections. After inspections, it was time for paint prep.

Once paint prep was completed, we painted with only the top-of-the-line, industry-grade Thurmalox High Temp Stove Paint, and the client decided to go with the classic Satin Black to really accent the nickel.

And then we prepped the replacement back I had from another build that was in perfect shape. That build was set up for DHW, so we just had to plug up those holes after sandblasting. And this is also when I cut and make the new stainless Tie Rods from smooth stainless bar stock.

Lastly, it was just time to reassemble the stove with the brand-new, beautiful nickel-plated tree. Of course, we built it exactly as they would have at the Foundry back in 1980.

Once completed, we had a stunning example of an early 1980s short-leg Elm, now with a nickel tree. The results blew the client away, and I am always overjoyed to save another small piece of Vermont Stove History!

I want to thank everyone for following along, all the kind comments and messages, and bringing me all these stoves to save!

And a HUGE thank you to everyone flooding my new website, which is finally live! It's unbelievable how many visitors and sales I've had in 2 days since the official launch! Thank you! And people just buying t-shirts and merch to support me? That's next level; I never expected the merch to really sell!

Until the next epic restoration!

•Before and After Red Enamel Jotul 118B Wood Stove•

Today I'm sharing the before-and-afters of the stunning Jotul 118 B in Red Enamel I posted last month, which has now found its way to a new home!

This is a rare Red Enamel version of the 118B that was only available for a short time in the late 1970s. And as far as I can tell from my sources, this Red color was only available here in the United States and was never offered in the European Markets. This could have been Jotul's way of competing with Morsø's "Red, White, and Blue" special-order enamel colors they were offering the 1125 in at the same time.

These stoves are absolute classics, designed in Norway in 1940 by Blakstad-Munthe-Kass, and artist Ørnulf Bast created the beautiful bas-relief.

The poem on the front of the stove is an excerpt from an Icelandic poem by Snore from the 13th Century and loosely translated reads-

"I build my fire
late at night
When the day is done
God willing, my fire
will never die out"

Overall, this stove showed up at the shop in good shape. Found in a cabin in the mountains of Maine, and not used for what looked like many years.

But a quick wipe-down of the dust showed an enamel that survived remarkably well! This is almost unheard of in New England, where everyone has a pot of water sitting directly on the stovetop.

The stove did have some flaws: the internal side burn plates were cracked, and the entire door draft was frozen solid.

So I ordered the necessary internal parts and broke down the rest of the stove to inspect and clean everything.

Finally, we reassembled the stove right back to foundry condition with new cement and gaskets, as well as final details on cleaning up the enamel.

This was an incredible piece of stove history to save, and I had a ton of fun saving it! I love every restoration I do, but this was definitely one of my favorites!

Thank you for following along on my journey here at the shop and for all the kind messages and comments!

Some of you already figured out what my big announcement is, but for everyone else, rest assured the big post is coming soon!

•Before and After Jotul 3CB Wood Stove•

Alright, so here is the peak of the stove that we crated up last week to head to Washington State!

As you can see, it showed up in about the worst shape possible. The white enamel was completely shot; all the internals were toast and overfired so badly that the back itself has a crack in it.

The first steps on this build were to get it fully broken down and inspected, and to put in a large part order, including a new back.

Next, we prep the entire stove for sandblasting; there is no way to save bad enamel, so it had to go.

Once back from sandblasting and the enamel is gone and down to bare iron, we prep everything for paint. As always, we paint with only professional-grade, industry-standard Thermalox High Temp Stove Paint, in Satin Black.

After we let the parts air cure overnight, we get back in the shop early to start assembling the stove back to factory specs. All while prepping and fitting the new parts, and double-checking for fit throughout the entire build.

The client was overjoyed with the final results and is excited to get it back to WA! And I was just excited that we saved another stove that most people would have taken for junk, and now it's ready to go back into service looking and performing better than ever!

Thank you as always for reading my posts and following along the journey here at the shop. Thank you for the endless kind messages and comments! And thank you to everyone who keeps bringing me stoves to save!

Huge shop update this week; I hope everyone is ready!

A busy day at the shop while also crating a Jotul 3CB Wood Stove that is heading all the way out to Washington state! A full 3018 miles from my shop, all the way to the outskirts of Seattle, Washington!

I'm always so humbled that people from all over this country and the world love and appreciate my craft this much! So much that they want me and no one else to do the work on their stoves! Or to just find them the perfect stove they have been looking for.

It is a hectic life that does not even feel real sometimes!

Thank you as always to everyone! Everyone following along the journey with me, all the kind comments and messages, and of course, thank you to everyone who keeps bringing me stoves and allowing me to live my dream!

•Before and After 1977 Jotul 606 Wood Stove•

This week I'm sharing a stove I finished up a while back for a very nice gentleman who brought it to me, said it was from his childhood home, and wanted it restored to its former glory!

The downside is that the stove sat in a barn for many years, and when he loaded it up at his house to bring it over, he had an accident and slammed it on its side, completely destroying a side plate and the smoke outlet. This was essentially a parts stove at this point.

Thankfully, though, I had enough Jotul 606 carcasses I've collected over the years to have every part needed to get the stove back in working order. For sentimental value to the client, we used every single salvageable part from his mother's stove, so the finished stove's heart will still have the heart of the original!

After the teardown, we found additional broken parts, but we found the needed replacements and got the entire stove prepped for sandblasting!

Once back from blasting, we inspected the stove again, found every part we had chosen to be in perfect shape, and then prepped everything for paint. As always, we use only the highest-grade Thurmalox High Temp Stove Paint in a beautiful Satin Black.

After letting the parts air-cure overnight, we got in the shop bright and early to assemble the entire stove back to foundry specifications. This is a tricky stove to assemble, but after all these years I have wonderful proprietary processes in place to make sure everything comes together just right!

Once the client saw the stove, he was floored by the results; he never remembers the stove looking this perfect in his entire life! And he could not wait to get it back to his home to create more memories for his family!

As always, I was immensely proud and happy to save another beautiful piece of wood stove history!

Thank you all for reading and following along my journey! And a huge thank you to everyone who keeps bringing me stoves to save, making every single year busier than the last!

•Vintage Jotul 118B in Red Enamel for Sale•

$4900

Here we have a show stopping Vintage Norwegian Jotul 118B, in the exceedingly hard-to-find original red enamel! I just finished fully disassembling, restoring, and rebuilding this beauty right back to foundry condition!

This was one of my personal collection stoves, but I came across another identical red one 2 years ago, so I decided it is time to find a home for this one.

The poem on the front of the stove is an excerpt from an ancient Norse poem/mytholgy and reads-

I build my fire
late at night
When the day is done
God willing, my fire
will never die out

These 118Bs differ from the extremely common basic original 118s you see in Green enamel and Black Paint, which almost always have cracked sides.

The full-length interior side plates protect the sides of the stove 10x better than the older 118s and their small side plates.

The 118B is a fully UL-listed stove with full-length side burn plates, a full bottom burn plate, a wooden handle, a flameout plate, and 5 smoke outlet options.

It can be vented in four different spots on the upper sides, or vented out the rear of the stove.

No cracks anywhere on the stove. The enamel is in 9/10 shape, with some blemishes here and there as expected for its age. The top plate is in almost perfect shape with very few stains, which is rare here in New England.

The internal side burn plates, baffle, and bottom burn plate have all been replaced with new ones. All gaskets throughout the stove have been replaced with new OEM gaskets during the rebuild. The door has also been rebuilt and re-adjusted for best fit.

The smoke outlet is a Euro 125mm, but adapters to change to a standard 6" are available to order.

The stove will come with a printout or a PDF of the manual specifically for the 118 B.

DIMENSIONS:
Height to lower edge of smoke outlet: 25"
Smoke outlet diameter: Euro Size (125 mm)
H: 31"
L: 31"
W: 14"
Log length: 24"
314 Ibs
BTU Range: 22.5k - 48k

$4900

-As always, all full price cash offers include delivery within 35 miles of my shop.
-Delivery available anywhere in New England for an agreed upon fee.
-Insured LTL Freight Shipping at buyer's expense

•Before and After Jotul F600 Firelight Wood Stove•

This week in the shop, we finished this spectacular Jotul F600 Firelight Wood Stove!

If you have been following for a while, you know these stoves are my favorite for the large Jotuls. Biggest modern cast iron stove ever made, pushing 90k BTU, and capable of heating 2500 sq/ft by itself!

This stove was VERY well loved before it came to me, and it was certainly time to get a good rebuild and restoration to get it all set for the next 25 years! The client actually came all the way from southern NY to drop off this stove.

We got right to work breaking the stove down and getting the parts list to order. Once I sent the order in, I got to prepping everything for sandblasting. The original enamel on the stove was shot, so it was time to remove it and bring the stove to a beautiful satin black.

After shotblasting, we did just that: prepped all the parts for paint and painted with only the highest-quality Thermalox High Temp Stove Paint.

After a night of air curing, it was time to reassemble this huge 500lb stove right back to exact foundry specs. Testing and checking each step of the build, and meticulously fitting all the new parts.

In the end, we have another showpiece example of the Jotul F600. Ready to go for another few decades, and send back with some tips and tricks to keep it living longer and stronger. The client was more than impressed, and I was more than proud to save another treasured stove!

Thank you all for reading and following along, and a huge thank you to everyone who keeps bringing me stoves to save! (I just placed my largest order ever from Jotul, over $10,000 in parts in a single order!) And that's thanks to you all; thank you!

Had to do a bit of work on my 1955 Massey Ferguson TO-35 today. This old tractor has served my family since it was new. I'm the 3rd generation in my family to own it. It has a very reliable 36hp Continental gas engine. When I'm just moving it around, it can really rack up some speed! I've also converted it to use a standard alternator rather than the DC generator it would have come with, reducing maintenance and improving battery charging.

As with most farming implements of this era, safety was not particularly high on the design checklist. You have to control the tractor or it will take control of you. Shift down into 3rd by accident from a stop? Prepare for a wheelie that will pucker you up, especially if it's in high gear. These things were also known to roll over or do a full rear overturn if you are not careful. And don't forget, no roll cage and no seatbelt.

When I was given the tractor a decade ago, it was still being used with its PTO to rake hay in the fields. Now it's just a good, small homestead tractor. Just a scraper blade for cleaning up roads and the bush hog.

Today I had to take a couple of hours just fixing my road from my house to the shop. All the heavy rain has caused some annoying bumpy washouts. And with 5 clients picking up their stoves over the past 2 weeks, the road was overdue for cleaning up.

Was it a quick way to do the job? No, not at all. Was it the most fun way to do the job that only costs me gas money? Absolutely! I have a ball riding around on this thing.

Growing up, when my grandfather lived on this property in his retirement, he had a little newer Massey Ferguson 135 that he restored. That's the photo at the end with him and that tractor before he restored it. And that was the first tractor I learned to drive when I was a kid. One day, I plan to bring this one back to life just like he did with his.

I know grandpa is looking down proudly and smiling, knowing that we are still a Massy Ferguson family on the property he left to me. A property I turned back into a full-time homestead and business!

I will soon be back to wood stove posts, but thank you for taking this trip down memory lane with me!
