This is another project that has been sitting in the barn for 5 years. Found on the property, partially disassemnbled, it nonetheless seemed to have a ll its major parts. I didn't know it was a Franklin stove until someone happened to remark on it. I was excited because an original Franklin in good shape has some value. I was disappoointed to learn that this one is not an antique, but part of a flood of Asian reproductions that flooded the market in the 1970s and 80s during the energy crunch.

| Like the original "Mayflower" design that this is patterned after it improbably rests on 3 feet. |
I assembled it in the driveway for its test firing (needed to cure the paint).
Now dissassembly, transport and final install in Portland. Of course, there is the patio and pergola to build first.
how hard was the disassembling and re-?
ReplyDeleteI have one too but it came with my home. My home was built in 1971. How can you tell if it’s an original?
ReplyDeleteIt's stamped on the back
DeleteHow much do they usually go for? The pricing
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely awesome I have found one like this online and was trying to purchase it because it reminded me of one that I had in the home that I grew up in it was something that I thought that I might have been able to make a little money buying and selling it didn't work out for me but it led me to see that somebody else is getting the opportunity to do stuff like this and it helped me get an education on the product so in the end it kind of worked out better for me thank you for sharing your project you did a great job restoring it thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteIt looks very nice, Can you use it indoor? This is a large firebox, Can I install fire bridge on bottom and around so I can use it indoor?
ReplyDeleteYou did a very good job. Do you think this wood stove can be used safety in door?
