I learned that there are birds living in postboxes in France, so I bought the stove (birds) from France. Unfortunately, the inside was stuck, the case was severely warped, and the cover was melted. I was worried whether I would be able to fix the mailbox-like case and the stove. However, when I learned that the motto of Paris, France, is " Fluctuat nec mergitur " I felt that this French-born stove should never sink, and I had the energy to fix it. First, I decided to repair the stove itself. The needle was sticking out from the nipple. An ignus equipped with a needle like VESTA was posted on CCS, so I expected this individual to have the same structure. However, when I removed the nipple, I found that the tip of the spring was equipped with a needle. Then, when the spindle was turned, the needle and the spring moved. When I removed the spindle, I found a spring and needle attached to the tip of the spindle. I tore off the spring, thinking the French had done the wrong modification. When I pulled the spring out, the tip of the spindle was in a nice shape, just like the original one. Furthermore, when I assembled the spindle into the main body with the spring removed, I realized that the tip of the spindle was not long enough to shut out the fuel path. Yes. I was the one who did the stupid thing... I apologized to ignus and repaired it using the spring I had. When I cleaned it up and reassembled it, the ignus burned fine. Next, let's fix the mailbox. Sorry, it was a case like a mailbox. Remove the caulking and disassemble. After disassembly, the dents are corrected by hitting with a combination of wood and a hammer. However, a melted lid cannot be fixed by simply tapping it. I bought an aluminum plate of the same thickness as the original and cut it out with a hacksaw. After reassembling it, I was finally able to meet the pigeon that had arrived in the mailbox. Hello. I found that the trivet was so large that it became unstable when I placed my favorite cup on it. So I decided to make an sub trivet. Before making the trivet, I thought about what kind of trivet I should make every day in the bathroom. ・Since I don't have many tools, I make it from soft metal that is easy to work with. ・Aluminum melts, so make it from brass. ・Brass has a higher thermal conductivity than iron, so assemble it in a location where the heat transfer path from the aluminum case is as far away as possible. ・Brass becomes soft when heated, so make it thick enough to be strong. ・The case is small, so make it small enough to fit in the case after disassembly. (When I made the cross type, it was too long to fit in the case) ・I will make a handle with a chain so that I can hold it with gloves in case something goes wrong. I created the trivet with the above points in mind. I engraved the Parisian motto "Fluctuat nec mergitur", which was used when I decided to restore this stove,in the hope that it would not be thrown away in the garbage in the future. I also engraved the name Pigeon in honor of the man who made this beautiful stove. I was able to fit it into the case just barely. It is made up of two pieces so that it can be adjusted according to the size of the cup. After use, the color changed to a muted color, but I was able to use it without deforming. The position of the engraving has been adjusted so that the original trivet looks like a picture frame when viewed from the side. Therefore, I was very happy to confirm that the trivet was not deformed. Thanks to everyone at CCS posting and sharing their knowledge, I was able to learn many things. Similarly, I wanted to leave some useful information for future rookies visiting CCS, so I posted this article. As a result, this was a rather long post. I hope everyone will forgive me. Thank you for reading to the end.
@Camp numao I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post, illustrated with photos of each stage. You have beautifully executed it all! My highest compliments. Greetings Stanisław
Outstanding fettle. A truly well done job. Creativity and skill combined to make a great addition to our gallery.
Thank you everyone for your comments. @Knee This was a long post, but I'm very happy that you read it to the end. Thank you for always giving me your comments. @snwcmpr I wasn't sure if the needle structure was original or not, and when I posted a question on CCS, you wrote a comment. I don't think you remember, but I was happy at that time. @Twoberth I thought I'd like to post it on CCS, so I took pictures while repairing it. I was worried that if it wasn't fixed, this photo would be wasted. Hahaha. @The Warrior I would be very happy if you could write a comment. I am grateful. @presscall I'm inspired by your post. Your post also includes beautiful photos and lots of information.
@snwcmpr I'm glad you wrote it. thank you. @Tony Press thank you. It's working fine today as well, boiling water.
@Stanisław Grajewski Thank you! It was worth spending some time in front of my PC. @itchy Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also enjoy reading everyone's posts at CCS.
@Camp numao Congratulations for this brilliant work and video about this Ignus. I own also one Pigeon Ignus but without the fuel filter. Best regards from france. Yannick
@Yannick Michel Thank you. Your country's delightful stoves are doing a great job here in the Far East.
