- Work on the 1889 homestead cabin is well underway. This episode reveals one of the big final elements of the project-a woodburning cast iron cookstove.
When the 1889 PROJECT house is finished, this stove will take pride of place.
Today we go START TO FINISH on our restoration of a 1904 South Bend wood-burning cookstove. We buy this range the way a pioneer would have: with an ounce of gold! We trade one gold coin for a very old, very grimy, very dirty cookstove.
Are we crazy?! Watch today’s project from start to finish to see the grease wash away & 100+ years of soot disappear. Each piece of nickel gets polished until it shines. Amazing transformation!
This stove is a final interior element of our 1889 PROJECT: where we save one abandoned pioneer house from the Western frontier. One project at a time.
This is my favorite episode yet! It’s incredible to watch your restoration and the beauty of the “new” stove!!
Cheers!! That brings a big smile to my face 😄🙌🏻
So much work! What a labor of love.
It’s so fun working as a team of friends! Clayton is a fantastic photographer & editor 🙌🏻
Looks great
Thank you-lots of hours of hard work
So awesome!❤
Cheers! 😄💗🙌🏻🔥
Such tedious work. Good job, you're more patient than I.
Haha thank you! Appreciate your comment 🙌🏻 Yeah, it was a long (and gross) process but SO satisfying 🙌🏻 Plus I love cooking on an old wood burner more than any other type of cooking. Heaven.
Now yer cookin'!
Cheers! 😄🔥
Should have taken it to an acid bath shop. They would have dipped it just like they do for cars and bake it dry. Would have been 24 to 48 hours to have a fully clean item
Oh wow now that’s a solid way to do it! 😃 I’m betting that would have stripped away all of the original nickel plating though 🤔 We lost a bit, but managed to save A LOT of the original patina
@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue there are different types of acids for dipping. Since we are dealing with oil and light rust, thanks to the oils, their weakest bath could have done it and with little to no damage to any nickel plating. Even if the plating were to be removed, it's really cheap to have those replated these days.
Something else to consider is Laser Cleaning. Some interesting videos on that subject on CZcams. Since the practice of using Lasers is new to the general public, it does cost more, but it does very little to no damage to the product.
I've used a Dry Ice Blower on engines during restoration projects, so I'm sure it would work on a stove. The cost to rent is cheaper than you would think and it also works on wood as it used to remove Black Mold from homes, etc
@@paulharvey1947 Oh man, you know your stuff!! Fascinating processes. Where are you at-near a big city? Our trouble here is that we are hours away from even small cities. It’s so hard to get access to anything like that.
Robbie’s uncle had his stove re-plated with nickel and it turned out perfect! But I’m pretty sure he said it was very expensive here in Montana.
@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue I'm in TX so we don't mind long drives as it could take you a full day to drive from one side to the other. I personally am in south central TX.
I'm sure they are places near you, while 'near' is all relative to where are at. Just wanted to offer some alternatives to scrubbing for hours, but nothing wrong with a little hard work especially if the outcome you wanted is achieved
@@paulharvey1947 Cheers, man🙏 I appreciate the advice you gave and the alternatives. I would 100% do it the ways you suggested next time. Especially if I had to do more than one stove every ten years-I don’t mind scrubbing by hand, but you are right to work smarter not harder. It’s cool to hear about better options out there. Thank you! 🙌🏻
Any idea why there is a vent on the stovepipe? I found a Malleable warming oven, and am confused why one would want a vent in the chimney above the fire.
It’s a really good question 🤔 I know on the old Monarch stove I cooked with for 8 years, it had a vent like that. It really helped with “closing down the stove” and keeping it from pulling too much air. This helps stop the stove from getting too hot. But I bet someone else knows more about the concept than me. You’re gonna make me think about this until I figure it out! 😆😀
