oh the safety issues!!!! I have seen a 1/2 crucible of aluminum blow! all it takes is a small drop of moisture! we have older leather protective gear, there is a box with really old "asbestos" gear in a corner safely put away.
I had checked out the old enameling techniques, I found out why they don't do that anymore, lead and cyanide.... one of things I make parts for is these toy / salesman sample stoves, many of them were made in the town I grew up in. This is the only one in the house she has at least a dozen of them. They are fun, welding thin cast iron is tricky, if I did it more often, I oxy-acetylene gas weld with piston rings or cast iron rod, which ever color matches best.

That's a cute little stove you've got there m8 I like it,must try the piston ring welding rods sometime,if I weld cast with the stick welder it allways comes out like stainless & certainly doesn't colour match.
