Got it all bent. I was just looking around and came up with how to do it. I bent it at the 2nd bend and made a 90, then attached a pair of needle nose vise grips and clamped them on super tight then hammered the 2nd bend onto the vise grips and it came out exactly how I wanted. it was less than...

The piece I have and have been working off of is about a 4 foot piece and I think I depicted that I cut off about a 7 inch piece and try and bend it. I was hoping to not have to weld this because I am not a welder. The issue is that every time I make the first bend, when I go to make the second...

Hello, I am currently trying to bend a piece of 1/4" aluminum but the issue is that it is a super tight bend and I cannot get it right. I have gone through about 4 pieces of aluminum and am getting down to the last of it as I have to make 2 similar pieces. This is what I am trying to bend...

Just spent 4 hours cleaning the front half(what I could get to without pulling it out). It is cleaning up nicely. Just took the major stuff off tonight but I have to decide how deep I want to go with this wire wheel brush as to get all of the rust off of it.

Yeah, I got a nice metal frame dolly that is rated for weights up there but it still only has the plastic tires and not air ones. I use mine all the time for stuff. It will be a help rather than dropping the stove a foot and a half onto the floor I will just slide it onto the dolly.

Enough beer? Is there such a thing? :beer:

Thanks for the advice. I am actually not too worried about the floor. It is full concrete and it needs to be redone anyways. However, I did think about how I am going to get it all the way out without having to drop it to the floor. I have a 4 wheel heavy duty metal dolly that I will probably...

Nope, that was what I tried first because it is difficult to get between the doors and stove to get the rust off. The pins are pretty firm in there. I could most likely back them out with a hammer and a little time but the bottoms would still be an issue.

The doors are fairly well pinned in there. I do not think that there is enough room to get the bottom pins out without an air hammer and I do not have one on hand or know anyone that does.

Not a problem. It is just going to take a couple people. I don't have a hoist or anything to help lift here. Thanks for the tips.

I already looked at the pipe and it is detached. It goes up an old chimney and it looks like it will have the clearance to make it out as well. Yeah, it is just a matter of actually getting the time and correct schedule with a hand or 2 to get the thing out. Thanks for the help.

As you can tell, your last comment was right at the time I posted that I got it off thanks to the help from you about unscrewing it. Simple nonsense. I thought it had to bolt to something. It did look like that to me at first but then, I saw that the concrete was chipped right at the edges...

Wow, why didn't I think of this? Ok, so, I had attempted unscrewing it by hand before but it after all, it is quite rusted. I took a straight bar and put it through there and started unscrewing it and it broke loose. So, now I have the heat shield off of it and it is only the woodstove left. I...

As you can tell from the picture, the flue door handle is what is holding it on. It has bolt holes but those are obviously gone and either rusted off or weren't there. I pulled that metal plate(what I call heat shield) away from the wall as far as I could with the flue door handle all the way...

Hello, Here is my current project that I am taking on. It is an old Kodiak wood stove that I am attempting to refinish and use. This place was horribly mistreated by the previous owner and it flooded now there is all kinds of damage and I am slowly fixing it. I started this task late one night...

I will be sure to add pictures of what I am doing with the wires and how I will be doing it shortly. I have quite a few projects that I will be asking questions about I am sure.

Yeah, it looks like I will be routing it behind the baseboard into the first closet at least. Hopefully drilling through the floor there, I will be able to see something and if not I will have to take another option on doing it. Estimated cost of basement repair based on what you are saying...

I literally just looked at a post, I think by you, when refreshing the page using the term bay area, and I was going to edit my post. Yes, the return vent is right across the 1st closet closest to the living room. The return vent is right around the kitchen corner in the hallway. Yes, I have...

No, what was said is that 3 eves are completely blocked, from where I placed it on the diagram upwards. I cannot see down those eves at all and it happens to be where the coax is heading up.

Yeah, the edges where the wall meets that isn't finished is held by some nails and I think that is all that is holding up the ceiling on that side for the time being. How much am I looking at for installing a proper ceiling. The basement is the last part of my project for the time being. I may...
