Letting go my beloved Sparky for the forum.. - 8/10/2010 8:02:29 PM    cyberdigger Posts: 11901 Joined: 11/29/2008 From: I 195 @ US 9, NJ USA Status: online Well, it's not a bottle, but if anyone is the slightest bit interested, we can talk.. Sparky is a mini-stove, or was, until someone drilled holes in the top and bottom to make a lamp.. I removed the lamp crap, and a slightly competent welder could easily make her work again.. otherwise, she's suitable for display. I will not entertain any bids under $30, but I will pay shipping. All proceeds will be donated to this website.. any questions?? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: Letting go my beloved Sparky for the forum.. - 8/11/2010 9:56:46 PM    Wangan   Posts: 1136 Joined: 12/4/2009 From: Northern Maine Status: offline Hi Charlie, My father was a welder and he used to use a Brazing rod wrapped around another rod to make an alloy that worked well on cast iron.Cast cant be welded,it needs to be Brazed because the temperature differences allow for a lot of expansion and contraction which soft Braze can handle.I would just put a bolt and washers through it to plug up the holes and wala,no smoke or ashes leaking.Paint em black and there you go. Thats a very nice little "pot bellied" stove.That would be perfect for an ice fishing shack or a small hunting blind. _____________________________ http://youtu.be/e4ujS1er1r0 (in reply to cyberdigger) Post #: 10

I also love those diving stories you post.. got any new ones? This forum costs money, and there are fun ways to cover the cost.. I've donated things that just came my way, I didn't pay for them, and I didn't need them, but they are worth something to someone.. this stove is one of them.. so it only seems fair to me if I use things I got for free to raise money for a website I enjoy and spend lots of time on, where I feel a sense of community. The last thing I need right now is for this place to shut down... that would be a clear sign that  THE END  is near... (in reply to blobbottlebob) Post #: 15
