[canned o minimum]

Now dont go telling me I can tap on stuff and make it work. Because that translates into beat it with a hammer. I will do it, I swear.

EASY now Kirk !!! Put the hammer DOWN ! Fer sum guys, a hammer is NOT a fix it tool... it's a DEMOLITION tool...

Step AWAY from the hammer....

IPE has done the new porcelain work and it's on it's way to me. I have decals in hand....This should be complete next week....can't wait. Plan is to get some stainless screws for the top, padded with a fiber washer to help cushion heat expansion on the top. Next time I post on this...it'll be done! Doug

[doug hodder]

I got the top/grates back....put it together tonight. I polished up some stainless screws to hold the top on, applied the decals and outside of the clamps to hold down the grates, which I need to invent...it's done. It's about as authentic as you can get for a 74 year old stove. It runs great and I'm happy with it. It's my most $$ intensive stove. Doug

That is truly a thing of beauty, nice work! And worth whatever $$ you spent.
