PART 2 MAKING A WOOD BARREL BUFFALO STOVE from a 45 gal empty fuel barrel

 THESE FOUR LEGS WERE CUT FROM ANGLE IRON FROM AN OLD BEDFRAME.  MAKE SURE THE CUT EDGES ARE GRINDED AND FILED TO REMOVE SHARP EDGES OF METAL

FIRST BRYAN MEASURED THE CIRCUMFERENCE ON THE BARREL AND DIVIDED BY 4.  NOW HE IS MARKING WHERE THE FOUR LEGS WILL BE BOLTED ON.

HAPPY TO BE MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF SCRAPS..... GIVES ONE THE BEST FEELING

 THEY FOUND A HINGE AND DECIDED ONE WAS ENOUGH.

 OUT OF BRYAN'S SCRAP METAL BIN, THEY FOUND A PIECE TO MAKE THE HANDLE OUT OF AND DRILLED IT FOR A BOLT AND BENT THE HANDLE END.

 DRILLING TO ATTACH THE LATCH.  (made from the bed angle iron)

THIS IS THE ROUND THAT WAS CUT OUT OF THE TOP OF THE BARREL.  IT IS NOW BEING DRILLED AS THE DAMPER.

AN OLD SPRING FROM THE OLD METAL BED FRAME MAKES A DANDY HEAT GUARD FOR THE DOOR OPENER.

 WE FOUND THIS OLD STOVE PIECE LAST YEAR IN OUR TRAVELS OUT IN THE OLD MINING SITES OF ATLIN AND KNEW IT WOULD BE VALUABLE.

 THIS PIECE IS FROM THE SECOND BARREL.... IT IS GOING TO BE FLATTENED AND A HOLE PUT IN IT.  IT WILL ACT AS THE HEAT SHIELD FOR THE STOVE PIPE  GOING OUT OF THE CABIN WALL.  IT GOES ON THE INSIDE OF THE CABIN.  (THERE WILL BE MORE ON THE OTHER HEAT GUARDS THAT ARE PUT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CABIN IN THE NEXT POST)
