Ep.6, This House Needs A Cookstove. 1889 PROJECT.

Work on the 1889 homestead cabin is well underway. This episode reveals one of the big final elements of the project—a woodburning cast iron cookstove. When the 1889 PROJECT house is finished, this stove will take pride of place. Today we go START TO FINISH on our restoration of a 1904 South Bend wood-burning cookstove. We buy this range the way a pioneer would have: with an ounce of gold! We trade one gold coin for a very old, very grimy, very dirty cookstove. Are we crazy?! Watch today’s project from start to finish to see the grease wash away & 100+ years of soot disappear. Each piece of nickel gets polished until it shines. Amazing transformation! This stove is a final interior element of our 1889 PROJECT: where we save one abandoned pioneer house from the Western frontier. One project at a time.
