What it Takes to Save the Original Stove | Engels Coach Shop
Рет қаралды 86,878
Ай бұрынPreserving this rusted out shepherd's stove is more challenging than rebuilding it, but that's what the owner requested. The bottom of the stove sides are gone, but I need to reattach the old legs, so now what do I do? It's a good thing to have scrap piles around. Thanks for coming along!

As a moonlighting special effects artists, I have a suggestion for you concerning that piece of plywood for getting it to look a little more rusty. All that it will take is some acrylic paint and a bit of isopropyl alcohol. Burnt umber, burnt sienna and raw sienna are the colors you want. Just any old cheap craft paint will do. Thin it a good bit with water and just coat the plywood with it. Then spritz some of the isopropyl alcohol on it. The alcohol will cause the watered down acrylic to bead into all manner of craziness. Let that dry and apply more coats as you see fit, alternating colors. You could get fancy and add a bit of orange directly to the colors to brighten them to really sell the rust look. Additionally, you can just drybrush some acrylic (not thinned) in a stipple motion to build up areas faster. It sounds like a lot, but it actually goes pretty fast.

Happy to see "keep it as it was" actually visually worked. A little pragmatism in a display piece is a good thing and by the time it is inside the covered sheep wagon I think a flashlight will be needed to find the imperfections. Fun to see how so messed up a little stove could be made to look like it belongs.

Hello Mr. Engels, beautiful work you do there, I especially like how you respect the antiquity of a piece, while saving it for posterity sake. I have rebuilt dozens of old stoves, large cook stoves, little laundry stoves, and anything in between. Same with cast iron items, especially cookware or "hollow ware" as it was once known. You did well on the missing spanner on the stove, but a couple flea markets and a replacement could be found, I have several here, as well as other odd pieces, you never know when you'll need one, I image you understand. I've thourghly enjoyed every episode of this rebuild, as well as all your other projects. You are a man of so many trades, and that's seldom encountered nowadays. Keep up the good work, it's fun to watch someone else do the work sometimes, particularly when it's at the level you present. Enjoy your Memorial day weekend, and thanks

Fantastic repair and it is understood it is for display only... I can imagine the museum tour guide having plenty of interesting explanations of the restoration process.

@ErikNielsendk Ай бұрын
I understand why the owner is keen to preserve rather thab just restore/rebuild. If he has the stories about this wagon going back to when it was bought generations ago, then every trace of use and wear as well as damages is a living book to him that will show the scars left behind to prove it. Even if his desire is to just show what a century of use and wear and almost all repairs homemade looks like to people of a modern buy an throw away era that hardly sees anything survive a decade of hard use. Of course this could just be my imagination, making it all up. Just because we do not understand a mans decision it does not have to be wrong. Thanks Mr. Engel.
