Hi folks! This little stove gave me some tough moments, as you probably noticed, but patience and perseverance are the keys to any successful restoration-and I stuck with it! The end result is absolutely beautiful, and I honestly can’t stop admiring it. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do! 😍 Cheers, Johnny
This title to your video is misleading this is not a pot-belly stove. Not even close. this is a cylindracal stove. Pot-belly stoves have a mushroom shaped top and a buldged out centre section with a cast iron ring around them. They are also considerable bigger than this stove. I have a real pot-belly stove what you have is NOT it.
Hi there! After researching this type of stove, I discovered that its naming conventions vary significantly around the world. In the United States, "potbelly stoves" are described similarly to this design you mentioned. However, in Europe, the term "potbelly" is also used for cylindrical stoves like mine (the internet is full of them), albeit with some regional differences. For example: In Germany, these stoves are often referred to as "cannon stoves" because their shape resembles old cannon barrels. In Poland, they are affectionately nicknamed "Koza" (or "Goat"). Interestingly, the name doesn’t reflect the shape-after all, goats have four legs, while some of these stoves stand on just three! Instead, the "Koza" nickname likely emerged as a cultural term, symbolizing the stove’s practicality, dependability, and its essential role in rural life, much like a goat in traditional farming. When creating my video, I faced a challenge in choosing the right name. Ultimately, I settled on "Goat-Style Stove" to honor its Polish origin (please read the description) and to connect with a broader audience familiar with that term. However, I understand how this might confuse viewers who associate the design with terms like "potbelly" or who recognize only region-specific names and shapes. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered such a challenge when naming globally recognized objects. For instance, I once worked with a waffle maker, and the naming variations were just as diverse: Italians called it "pizzelle", Belgians had their own distinct type, Slovaks and Poles each used unique terms. Naming objects with rich regional histories can be tricky, as the "right" term depends heavily on cultural context and audience familiarity. My goal is to use the most widely recognized terms while respecting regional nuances, but striking this balance isn’t always easy.
@@rustyshadesrestoration Thanks for your responce Here In Canada I'm not sure what the correct term would be for your stove. Some would call it a barrel stove Because it's shaped like barrel. My stove is a cast iron Canadian made stove, made in the early 1900's by the Curnery foundry in Toronto Canada. It is a working stove that is in excellent condition. It's story is it was first used to heat the office of an Alberta grain elevator. From there it went into a pig barn for many years. My dad bought it in 1965 to heat his weld shop then later his house. I've had it for the last 35 years. I have since made a copy of my stove out of 2 propane tanks which is more closely sized to your stove. Your video was still well presented and your work is of high quality. Thanks again for your responce

I like it. Very nice refurbishing effort and equally so with the making of the third foot. Now it can be used again for many, many decades to come... Thumbs Up!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the refurbishment and appreciated the effort that went into making the third foot. Thumbs up to your kind words! Wishing you a very happy Christmas! 🎄😊
This is a glorious piece of metalwork, and so meticulously restored...these folk commenting on its 'title' should just enjoy what you have done with it instead of nitpicking...thank you Johnny...dgp/uk
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 😊 I'm thrilled you appreciate the work and the effort put into the restoration. It's always rewarding to hear from people who focus on the craft and creativity behind it. Cheers to you, and thanks again for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! 🙌
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! 😊 Your support truly means a lot and motivates me to keep pushing forward with passion and dedication.
Thank you so much! Casting that third leg was definitely a challenge, but hearing feedback like this makes it all worth it. An off-grid cabin is a perfect idea for it!
Nice restoration! You got lucky when you dried off the stove with a torch - lucky that it didn't warp or stress crack. Also, the lower grate is NOT for building a fire, but for the ash pan (Which is missing). Fire is normally made in the upper chamber.
Hi! Thanks so much for watching and for the valuable input. The stove was already at room temperature when I dried it with the torch, so there wasn’t any sudden temperature shock that could cause cracking. Regarding the lower chamber, you’re absolutely right-it’s designed for the ash pan. However, when a stove has been freshly cleaned and painted, it’s a good practice to build a small fire in both chambers to heat it up uniformly and help cure the paint. I really appreciate your care and advice-comments like this are helpful for everyone watching and learning from the process. Cheers!
Thanks for your comment! Yes, cast iron can be welded, but it requires specific techniques and materials, like specialized rods and careful preheating, to avoid cracks. I’m glad you found it interesting-fixing it was definitely a rewarding challenge!
What did you use to weld the lugs back on and did you post heat or peen the welds after? Ive always heard cast iron is a bear to weld and am curious to hear your prcess to avoid cracking.
I recall using two carbon rods to arc to preheat, then braze cast iron decades ago. I wasn’t very good at it, but it was just farm tools and looks didn’t matter. I would heat a pot of sand and bury the part to cool slowly in it.
For this type of job, I typically use rods with the following composition: C < 1.0%, Mn < 1.0%, Si = 2.0%, Ni = 58-60%, Fe. I preheat the cast iron to 300°C and often perform peening as well, though I don’t always film the entire process. I’ve shown it in past videos, and I try to avoid repeating too much to keep things interesting for viewers. 😊
@@rustyshadesrestoration I'm glad you stuck with it and made another leg after the first casting didn't come out right. It is very very frustrating when that happens but you got it done ✔ xxc
Thank you! It was definitely frustrating when the first casting didn’t work out, but I’m glad I pushed through and made it right. Your support means a lot-thanks again! 😊✔
Great job again, Johnny! I'm still waiting for the invitation to come and visit you so I can try out the sandblaster! Happy holidays from Southern California USA! 🎄
Thank you! The air intake on this stove primarily comes from the slight gaps around the doors, as they are unsealed to allow airflow. However, the removable circular plates on the top can also serve as additional air vents or access points for maintaining or starting the fire. Removing them briefly can help with airflow when starting a fire or clearing smoke buildup. This design gives the stove a bit more versatility. I hope this clears things up!
Not an airtight stove, as no gaskets on doors. There is supposed to be a pan as an ash collector on that bottom grate, with the fire accessed from the top door. Pretty sure. Been decades.
Very nice restoration,you did a beautiful job on restoring this old stove.great video.make a nice conversation piece or use it in certain situations.just keep on doing what you do best.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Hola! Para este tipo de trabajo, suelo utilizar varillas con la siguiente composición: C < 1,0%, Mn < 1,0%, Si = 2,0%, Ni = 58-60%, Fe. Las compro en Castorama, por si tienes esa tienda en tu país. ¡Buena suerte con tu proyecto!
Правильно! Металл действительно следует заливать медленно, но отверстие не должно быть большим. Если оно будет слишком большим, металл может остыть слишком быстро и заблокировать поток внутри формы.
That’s a great question! Brazing cast iron is often easier because it uses lower temperatures, which reduces the risk of cracking and thermal stress. However, for this project, I chose welding because it creates a much stronger joint, especially for a stove that needs to endure high temperatures. Both methods have their advantages, but welding was the better choice for this specific repair. Thanks for asking and for watching!
I am sure that your technique is good, but I have had limited success arc welding cast iron without extensive preheat, especially with nickel rods. I find that cast iron rods with anti-borax flux oxy-acetylene welding works well on thicker, better quality iron. On cheap, poor quality iron, pit cast, 56% silver brazing works very well. Cracks can be avoided, with much experience and proper preheating and cooling. for general purpose repairs, I just use off the shelf brazing rods.
I always preheat the parts up to 300 degrees Celsius and, whenever possible, let them cool slowly by burying them in sand. I don't always show the full process in my videos since it can be repetitive, but I’ve demonstrated it in previous ones. Using this method, I successfully welded cast iron that held up to 86 kg without cracking. Thanks for sharing your experience-much appreciated.
I completely understand-welding cast iron can be a real challenge! It requires the right techniques, rods, and patience to avoid cracks and stress. Definitely not the easiest material to work with, but the results can be worth it!
Con un chorreado de arena de vidrio , le hubiese ahorrado mucho trabajo En la fundicion tendría que haber hecho un falso contramolde, le hubiese funcionado a la primera. Buen trabajo.
I don't know if you'll agree with me, but that extra leg you made in aluminum could have been made in an aluminum-based bronze alloy. It might be more difficult to make, but it has a much higher melting point than aluminum, especially in this case where it will be used in an iron stove.
Thank you for your input! You bring up a great point-an aluminum-based bronze alloy would indeed offer a higher melting point. While it might have been more challenging to work with, it could have been a good choice for long-term use in a cast iron stove. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for future projects. Thanks again for the suggestion! 😊
I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re referring to. Could you point out the specific minute in the video? That would help me address your comment more accurately. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! I usually find these items in antique stores, flea markets, or online marketplaces like eBay. It's all about keeping an eye out for hidden gems. It is a beautiful hobby that offers a lot of satisfaction. Hope you'll start soon. 🙂
Решетка находится внутри, возможно, вы не заметили, когда я вставлял ее внутрь. Я знаю, что дно предназначено для золы, но для того, чтобы свежая краска затвердела, необходимо равномерное нагревание, поэтому я также укладываю дрова вниз. Это хорошая практика для того, чтобы дно не растрескалось после долгого перерыва в использовании.
@@rustyshadesrestoration может быть и не заметил, прошу прощения. Но мне не нравится, как устроена эта печь. Колосник должен располагаться выше поддувала, по верхнему краю дверцы. Тогда будет правильно. Дрова всё равно загружаются сверху, а выгребать золу было бы гораздо удобнее снизу. И поток воздуха был бы более интенсивным.
Спасибо за ваше мнение! Да, конструкция этой печи имеет свои особенности. Я согласен, что размещение колосника выше поддувала могло бы быть более удобным и практичным для чистки и увеличения воздушного потока. Возможно, это решение было продиктовано какими-то другими соображениями на момент её изготовления. Спасибо, что поделились своими мыслями!

La pregunta es, q tipo de soldadura utilizas para el hierro fundido tengo una prensa q tiene rota una mordaza y es de ése material 🤔

19:54 я не специалист, по литью, но мне кажется, что нужно наливать расплавленный материал медленно, не торопиться. И отверстие нужно делать побольше.
Правильно! Металл действительно следует заливать медленно, но отверстие не должно быть большим. Если оно будет слишком большим, металл может остыть слишком быстро и заблокировать поток внутри формы.

While it might have been more challenging to work with, it could have been a good choice for long-term use in a cast iron stove. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for future projects. Thanks again for the suggestion! 😊
Now keep your eyes open for a handle for the slot in the center top. Ours all had them with just size variations.
That's a good idea! Thanks! :D
What metal did you use to recreate the leg?
Aluminium :)
Bardzo dobra robota.
Dzięki! Pozdrawiam!
What’s the metal you used for the leg? Can a benchtop furnace melt steel?
I used aluminium. My furnace can melt brass, bronze and aluminium. Steel melts at 1510 degrees C, mine goes max to 1100 degrees C.
Ficou muito bom
Muito obrigado! Fico feliz que tenha gostado. 😊
What kind of oil do you use, thanks
I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re referring to. Could you point out the specific minute in the video? That would help me address your comment more accurately. Thanks!
Ziomek jestem zawsze pełna podziwu twoich umiejętności!
Bardzo dziękuję, ziomek! 😊
The fake dry-brush weathering makes it look like a Comic Con foam cosplay of a cast iron stove, lol, but nice repair work none the less.
I have to say, it’s a bit of a silly take-sorry! But hey, I’m glad you liked the repairs at least!
Coucou de la France 🇫🇷
Did you cast the new leg from aluminum or was it just incredibly shiny iron?
Aluminium :)
Hello - will you make an iron tool to remove the smallest top plate ?
I have somewhere in my shop one, but I couldn't find it 😀
Great video! The rivets, are they aluminum? If so would they melt over time? If not what metal did you use?
Thank you. The rivets that I made are from steel. 😀 The small, doors from brass.
Hey im looking for a hobby and this looks fun but where do you get all these thing idk where to buy them
Thanks for your comment! I usually find these items in antique stores, flea markets, or online marketplaces like eBay. It's all about keeping an eye out for hidden gems. It is a beautiful hobby that offers a lot of satisfaction. Hope you'll start soon. 🙂
@rustyshadesrestoration thank you i love your videos too they are great to watch
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoy the videos-it means a lot to me.
Много добре. 👍👍👍😫👍
23:14 неправильно дрова складываете и поджигаете. Где колосник? Почему вы его не поставили? Это наиболее важная часть печи.
Решетка находится внутри, возможно, вы не заметили, когда я вставлял ее внутрь. Я знаю, что дно предназначено для золы, но для того, чтобы свежая краска затвердела, необходимо равномерное нагревание, поэтому я также укладываю дрова вниз. Это хорошая практика для того, чтобы дно не растрескалось после долгого перерыва в использовании.
@@rustyshadesrestoration может быть и не заметил, прошу прощения. Но мне не нравится, как устроена эта печь. Колосник должен располагаться выше поддувала, по верхнему краю дверцы. Тогда будет правильно. Дрова всё равно загружаются сверху, а выгребать золу было бы гораздо удобнее снизу. И поток воздуха был бы более интенсивным.
Спасибо за ваше мнение! Да, конструкция этой печи имеет свои особенности. Я согласен, что размещение колосника выше поддувала могло бы быть более удобным и практичным для чистки и увеличения воздушного потока. Возможно, это решение было продиктовано какими-то другими соображениями на момент её изготовления. Спасибо, что поделились своими мыслями!
Przysucha ? To moje okolice :D
Spoko! 😃
też się nie spodziewałem ale fakt że kiedyś głównie Stal Przysucha robiła piecyki i elementy do pieców np drzwiczki, ruszt itd.
Sorry my friend, that is not a pot belly stove. Stove yes, pot belly no.
Sensacional
Muito obrigado! Fico feliz que tenha gostado! 😊
You did your best i suppose
Thank you! I always put in my best effort, and I’m glad you took the time to watch. 😊
Kompliment 👍👍👍
Danke!
Good job on the foot you had to make
Thank you! Recreating the foot was a challenging but rewarding part of the project. I’m glad you noticed and appreciated the effort!
Not a Pot Belly stove but still an impressive restoration
Thank you!
If You can restore that, can You restore my faith?
Haha, that’s a tough one! Restoring faith might take a bit more work, but I’ll give it a try if you bring it over. 😉
