Congratulations Corie! It is gorgeous. I am in as big hurry to see it burning as your are. And I don’t have to move that sucker.

Yes, nicely done Corie. You left handed? What’s the little handle (Drawer, door?) at the top?
Fire box size?
What are you going to call it?

Thanks for the kind words guys!!!
It was done on saturday, but my parents were in the Bahama’s and I had no one to help me bring it in. We’re going to bring it in this friday and put it through its paces. Don’t worry, there will be lots of pictures and all sorts of goodies. Probably videos too!!!
The next design is already in the works, this one being much more unique. I just wanted to make sure I could build a stove before I started trying to innovate. Seems like everything went well, except for one incident where I pulled the torch lead just far enough out of the welder that the shielding gas was pouring out inside the welder, rather than making it to the tip. About half an inch of weld and i noticed something was up right away. Luckily I found the problem the next morning when I came down.

Sorry sorry, I should list the final specifications.
Height: 30.5” (from floor to top of stove)
Firebox is: 18” wide x 12” deep x 14” tall.
Coal capacity is in the neighborhood of 50 lbs (I just interpolated that from other stoves capacity).
I have to do BTU calc’s based on wood capacity, maybe later on in the week.
