Jensen 75GF
« on: February 17, 2024, 05:27:05 pm »
Drum roll…..

May I present to you my converted Jensen 75GF.    G for Generstor, F for Fire.  Since Jensen hasn’t produced a #75G, but a 25G, this is unique.

I spent pretty much the entire day crafting this and taking it apart, surveying and plotting the new holes, and getting the correct tools.  It surely turned out beautiful.  For those wondering, I used an insulator for under the firebox that Charlie also gave me. I used small nails to plant it down.  The BIX burner rests in the firebox on the insulation.  This is basically only designed for gas burner at this point.    It’s nice to have something unique to myself and I had a lot of fun crafting this today… even though there were also alot of cussing when things wouldn’t cooperate.

I will post a video soon in the comments. For
Now here is the photos. 

Thank you Charlie (Txlabman) for the Oak plinth and the Jensen decal.

Wow.  Would you look at that, a beautifully crafted plant with all the bells & whistles. Looking forward to the video. BTW ..The wood plinth looks great.

Thanks Bruce!   Knowing your craftsmanship abilities, to hear a compliment from you makes me happy.  😃.  Yes, it really REALLY looks good.  It’s mechanical art in my eyes.
