Need to feed the croc more often! That is the coolest little stove - nice work on the repairs 👍 I like to boiled linseed oil heat treatment, I'll have to keep that one in mind.
@@MattsGarage1791 he's a temperamental little chap but I've learned my lesson now! It's the first time I've used heat and linseed oil, it has a nice colour to it, hope it lasts.
Very Nice Alex! That is a cool little stove and will come in handy during your next crippling 1/2 in snow storm! I was surprised to see Crocky is a biter. He seems so sweet..😂 Seriously great video and that stove really is fantastic! Take it easy Buddy!
@@Uwannawatch I'm almost praying for a downfall again, just so I can get my log burner and this stove going. If the crocs not careful, he'll be the first on the grill. The shed is my domain!!!😁
That looks great Alex. Now i have to have one! I'm not sure I'll be very successful in aquiring one here in the United States😂 I was wondering how you were going to fix that big hole. Let us all know how that patch works. My dad used to use JB Weld on rusty exhaust systems on his car so it should work well on your little stove.
@@ivanstiles7030 thanks mate, I did wonder how good a repair it would, guess only time will tell. I showed my parents a photo of it and they said they'd never heard of them, they're in the 80's! It'll sit proudly in the shed, hopefully increasing in value, and dust of course😁
@@Dalesworkshop Hi Dale, I did think about taking it on a camping trip but I'm trying to fit a double gas stove into the van at the moment, think it will remain in the shed fornthe foreseeable.
Great video Alex! The stove looks great! Were you able to buy a proper wick for that, or did you make one yourself? Even if it won't heat a kettle in a timely fashion, it may help take the edge off the cold in your shed. How is your new job working out?
@@timeflysintheshop Hi there, how you keeping? It was a 4" wick off Ebay, about the only thing you can still get for these stoves. I will give it another go at boiling a kettle and maybe time it. We've got so used to things doing what we want, when we want, that sometimes it's good sit sit back a wait. The jobs going OK, thanks, I think it'll tick all the boxes for the time being.
@Bloodshed.restorations I am keeping as well as I can. We went out and got our Christmas tree yesterday. Are fresh cut Christmas trees a thing over there? We finally found the piston we needed for tne 1977 YZ250 on Ebay and got the cylinder bored. My son really wanted to take it to his friends birthday event to ride it at the farm. He got it put together, but did not have time to tune it. While tuning it there, he lost the idle screw so it would not run properly. The father of his friend let him ride his modern 250 and my son crashed it! Neither he nor the bike were totally wrecked, but both damaged. My son was able to ride it back, but he and the bike will need some work! We got a second dog. I would really rather simplifymy life at this point, but my wife seems intent to keep complicating it!
We've got several fresh tree farms around the area but we still with an artificial, pre-lit tree in our house, I used to get fed up of putting the lights on. Sounds like it could have been worse for your lad, hope he gets over it quickly. Look forward to seeing the bike once its up and running, I've got to get round to sorting my bikes out at some point and hope to get at least one roadworthy at some point in ths next decade or so😁. Take it easy👍🏻

I think the croc bite was the first blood, shed in the bloodshed since you revamped the logo! 😊😊😊
I've not spilled much claret for a long time now, long may it last🤞🏻

Did the stove mess with the croc? It looks like he took a bite out of the funnel! 😊😊
I wouldn't put anything past that chap! I've got good hopes for the JB weld repair though🤞🏻
A very cool stove Alex. Will you be taking that with you when you go camping? Or you can always brew up a cup in the shop. Good job.
