I carved this new tobacco pipe out of a block of Briarwood. Man, that's some hard wood! Not quite done but it turned out pretty cool. I'm going to break it in tonight.

cute puppy. Want another one.....they might be twins.... ours look just about identical..... mine doesn't have quite the pedigree....he was a rescue that came with over 300 tiny little ticks on him. Vet said that was a new record. My wife spent many many hours with tweezers helping this...

previous shop dog....Sunny the Golden. passed away in June.... :( New shop dog......Vin Scully = wild lab puppy! Scully is getting a little procedure today (nutectomy). Maybe getting fixed will calm him down a bit.

The beer keg set up is perfect! Very nicely done.

yes...a little of both. The wet spot was from testing and install. No wet spots now...most of the time. The piece that we cut out from the larger tank is inserted into the bottom to provide a catch ramp to cut down on spillage. We spent alot of time smoothing out the edges to eliminate any...

none at all. The flush produces only a couple ounces of water but it's enough to prevent smell.

I've used the pink antifreeze a couple of times in the top tank when it was really cold....

you are correct. I am going to make that change. I was thinking of 45's but maybe I can just go straight up to a single 90 then to the wall. Not sure how to support 10 feet of 6" pipe going straight up out of the stove. Won't it need some support? top pic

I am going to order a couple of 45's to start, then look at adding a new air hole in front. If that fails, I will either just live with it or consider re-routing through the roof. It's pretty close to ok now.....just not perfect. Gotta tinker..... This low cost ($45 stove kit, free barrel)...

no lower door. Mine is a US Stove kit from Menards. I've read of people using the large ******** (will the filter delete that word?) for additional airflow. It wasn't possible to install the new large door on the ******** side....too many deformities in the surface.

ok. I have a 1/2 bath in the shop, but when the beer starts flowing a urinal just makes sense. This is my idea, but as usual my son supplied the execution and creative expertise. We took a couple of old and free fire extinguishers. Cleaned them out and cut them up to fit (made sure the...

OP here. Just got my confirmation from insurance that I was covered. Here is a pic of the stove.

ok. pics - check lets see if this works. 3 pics attached. outside pic of shop inside pic of shop new shop dog named Vin Scully

OP here. Thank for the replies so far. 36" away from anything was feedback from insurance agent. 36" away and they would cover it. I did not specify homemade wood stove to the agent. He replied quickly and affirmatively that I would be covered. Math was not my strong suit.....but I am sure...

I've lurked, I've learned. Now I need to participate. I have a 30 X 50 shop. My son and I are making it our own....and we love it. I've spent the past several months acquiring tools and supplies to make it great. As my wife says, "you are hundred dollaring us to death with that shop" If she...
