That's awesome Jeremy! I would've had a real hard time letting it go and 99.9% wouldn't have let it go. Good on the Mrs.. :thumb:
 
Great story. But those welds!:clap2: Do you work in the oil patch? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Good! I hope it helps you out! It was the only way I could come up with to transfer the radius properly. I just used a 4” cutoff wheel

Thanks Sako, I used to be that way but no longer, I realized that the memories are independent of the object. I’ll pitch anything now :laugh:

Awesome welds. Have you thought about a firebox, or does she cook fine as-is?

Didn’t really think of it but she’s a good cooker as is!

If your grates are higher in back maybe you just didn't level them when you tacked to the legs.

When I tacked the legs I leveled the front shelf, opened the door and said, hmmmm. So I rolled the cooker back to split the difference between the front shelf and the cook grate, that was a no go. The front shelf obviously leaned back, so I decided to level the front shelf and cut off and relocate the cook grates.
 
Great pics, workmanship and story. A piece of history with provenance! The next in line to receive the OKJ will be a very lucky person and hopefully one who appreciates the machines heritage and will continue to carry it on.


I don't think I have ever gone wrong by listening to my wife :becky:
 
That OKJ cooks with Love - A seasoning that is one of a kind.
