A few shots of progress, the walls were a nightmare with the scars of 70 years but they are covered with a really hard, more cement based covering not traditional plaster so I kept it and patched it. Bit of a balls ache but done now.

Mate is was not expensive, my workmates are qualified builder and stone masons so they rebuilt the chimney back that was under the roof tiles took them a day and a half, cost me €390 plus a few bricks and the mortar, oven is second hand as it is hard to find one in Germany at the moment. Just got to do the shop downstairs now for my wife as it can get nippy and I don't want the gas on if I can help it. Yours looks like it does the job? Perhaps you could get one of those stainless steel chimney's that go on the side of the house, they are not too expensive and a cheep oven?

Thats a really cool stove. I have a dream of having one some day in my small house. I have to settle for this fake one for heat and looks. lol

Guys, got the Kamine in now! Kamine.mp4

Shown the pics to the German EOD types and none have seen anything of that construction. One even suggested due the material (copper and brass) used in construction that it may be some sort of nautical measuring device? Something towed behind a boat? Dependent on the function of the screw of course? Also if a bomb it would split at the join of the copper and steel? Best Rich

Too small really , copper bombs were 24 lb and made of cast iron or steel . that was my first thought too.
