Well just had a knock at the door and the Mrs shouted out,...that would be your birthday present. Standing there was TNT couriers with my new resto project, a 14" Scandia W.A CO.
I'm totaly over the moon with it Cheesy

, awesome...cant wait to get stuck into it !

The Mrs said the old fella she bought it off recons his family had used it on the Farm since new and that he could remember it as a little tacker.

Anyhow Just thought i'd share some "before" shots of the new project.

Congrats on the new oven and I'm sure you will enjoy cleaning it up and putting it back into use.

I know it's been said before, possibly by me but wouldn't it be good if an oven could tell you where it had been before you acquired it ?
A while back I bought a nice 10" Metters and the lady told me it had belonged to her recently deceased father and had sat in his shed unused for 30 or more years. A 12" Furphy I bought off a dealer still had the charred remains of a damper in it, at least I think it was a damper. A 13" Harding I bought on eBay years ago came from Bourke with half a pound of red sand in it lol !
All old ovens have a story, wish they could tell them.
BTW nice Scandia Gus.
Rob.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Only 10 mins into stripping the lid and the process looks like it's working fine.

BIG bonus that I'm also still alive Cheesy

The before and after shots.

I'm really pleased with the result thus far for my first de-rust project, not seasoned yet ....just out of a 8 hour bath and a wire brush. I'll give it a finall wipe down with some coarse salt & Lectrics just to clean out the pores then will start the seasoning process tonight.
