This section
chronicles my restoration of a 1930 Magic
Chef kitchen range. Ironically, of all the
projects in the Pattson
Chronicles this is the one that I completed
first. For whatever reason, I just
couldn't muster the enthusiasm I needed to chronicle this
restoration.
For five years the restored stove
sat in the basement of my daughter's house waiting for us to
remodel
her kitchen. Well, just this past month we finished the
remodel and the restored stove is now sitting proudly in her
kitchen, ready for another 60 years of use. Seeing the stove
in its rightful place restored my enthusiasm for writing about its
restoration.
The restoration was a fun (mostly)
experience and I learned a lot in the process. Hopefully, my
chronicles will help someone else in the restoration of one of these
vintage beauties.
