Yeah that maybe true but I'm kinda expecting you and the rest of these folks to live long enough to teach me what you know.

Here's my lesson to you :

WEAR YOUR SAFETY GEAR GOOMBA!!

I had the glasses on. I just didn't expect a shrapnel shower.

If accidents happened when you expected them to, they wouldn't be called accidents. Then they would be called the title of this thread!!

Rules:
1) if you think something might happen,take precautions.
2) if you think something IS going to happen, take precautions
3)if you think Nothing is going to happen, Take precautions
4) If you think you are Superman...............
Here catch this Kryptonite!!

See even Superman needs to take Precautions!! What makes you think you are tougher than Superman?

Ouch, never has a wire wheel spin off wire before. Thanks for the warning.

Almost dead is a band.
I had to change the URL because it contained some offensive language.

Not the cover tunes of dead rock stars I was hoping for.

Dremels are intense. I worked for a conservation organization and the own and old-as-dirt monitor barn. It hadn't been used since some time in the 70's, and there was ancient cow poop galore. Anyways, there was a bolt rused on to a stall so badly, I took me and another person 30 min to get off. (No power tools, just wrenched and oil) Then, it was stuck in the wrench which I had to slam on the concrete to get the damn nut off. I wear the nut on a chain on my neck as a sort of trophy.

Well, I went and purchased a full face shield today so life was much better. Finished up the detail stuff. I figured out that a stainless steel wheel doesn't toss wire like a carbon steel wheel does. I'm not sure why that is but perhaps it's just a harder metal and doesn't break off as easy.

Hopefully, everything will be done tomorrow and I'll post some pics. I think this guy is going to turn out okay.

**BLEUXDOG** · 03-11-2010, 06:25 PM

I did't see anything about a respirator...

**Rick** · 03-11-2010, 08:13 PM

Even though this two burner is a Peerless 102, it looks just like a Griswold 402. The burners are a different shape but mount to the frame exactly the same way. And the legs appear to be identical. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Griswold made this with the Peerless name on it. As I said elsewhere, the stove I have has two broken legs so I'm looking for a couple of replacements. I have made a set of legs for the stove and it looks like they will work just fine but I'd like to have the original legs on it.

If anyone has two Griswold 4.5 inch legs they would be willing to sell, just let me know. Here's some pics of the legs.

One of the leather welders/blacksmiths apron is also a good idea.
Don't have one any more, wish I did, for pouring boolits.

It's really nice when you are dealing with hot, sparky, flying, stuff.

Yes, mom, I got a respirator. The one on the bench needs the cartridges replaced so I picked up a paper one when I got the face shield. AND THANKS FOR ASKING!

**BLEUXDOG** · 03-11-2010, 10:30 PM

Your welcome Son.

**Rick** · 03-12-2010, 04:57 PM

Well, I'm finished. I think it turned out okay. I really, really want to replace the two broken legs but it's fully functional the way it is. And man does it toss out some flame. About a foot high from both burners when it's on high.

Here is the before:

Well done Rick. What's for dinner?

**hunter63** · 03-12-2010, 05:24 PM

Very nice, what did you end using for legs? Pipe nipples?

**Rick** · 03-12-2010, 05:35 PM

Hunter - Yes. They are 4 inch black pipe nipples. I used a reducer on top (3/4 to 1/2). I placed a washer inside then bolted the reducer to the burner frame. Then a 4 inch nipple and a cap for feet.

For those of you that don't know what black pipe is, it's used for gas services. You can get it at just about any hardware store. I got it at Ace Hardware.

Here's a pic albeit fuzzy.
