We need to add on.

I would love to see the details on the coal stove build, was that an old milk tank? I hope my son wants to buy that type of thing when he is older! I love the older bridgeport machines, but the you could do almost anything and then some with that bed mill.


The second picture is from the craigs list add where we bought it. We went to Frostburg Maryland for it.

The water tray was shot so we removed it. My son made the surround out of stainless sheets he got at a scrap yard. We have a plasma cam so that is how he cut the holes in the stainless and the angles for the cone. The cone is a air vent that goes to duct work for heat. The total investment was Less than $1000. Duct work, Stainless stove pipe, Duct fan and all.

The stove burns Coal or wood. I have two others if someone wants Heat!!!!! . You can keep all the windows and doors open in the garage if you open the hot blast door on the stove. Its a 2 story garage with a man cave upstairs. That is heated with a oil furnace. It hasn't come on since we installed the wood/coal stove downstairs.

All three stoves I have came from big buildings. The Northampton hotel The Bath Hotel. And a ware house in Frostburg MD.. If you never owned one you don't know what you are missing. I have always had one in my shops since the 70's. What ever you put in comes out in ashes. You need to forge something you put it in the coals.
