Sounds nice. If it is a ornate wood burning stove, I would expect it was cast iron. If it is cast iron, what did you use for arc welding electrodes?

I knew someone in Washington State that embedded a mail box in the front half of a junk car. The mail box was not real obvious so it looked like a car coming out of a thicket of blackberries.
