These are by far the best boots I have used. I’ve never gotten a blister with them and I have put them through hell. They are so comfortable, they feel like running shoes. They come in wide also.

By hand with a cotton rag, put some passion in to it for best results.
As the saying goes (at least in my language) no shine without friction.

That’s a cool stove/oven! It looks similar to the one in the kitchen on Bewitched (1964); I found a couple of stills from the show that shows the stove in the background. Even watching the show in the 70s when it was on when I got home from elementary school, I thought it was cool.

I just had one delivered last week. Bottom is convection top is conventional. No rage inducing bottom storage pullout. So happy!

Maybe that explains why I haven't seen one before. I'm from the Canadian prairies.

Whoa, my Gma had something very very similar. I can smell the soup she would make from here!

Modern stuff is all going to suck compared to the old school shit. I've had pretty good luck with whirlpool and their family of brands, which includes KitchenAid and Jenn Air for kitchen stuff and Amana and Roper and Maytag. Honestly, the simpler the machine is the longer it's going to last. If you have to have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatibility in your stove, you're going to have a rough time.

Its worth it, I used it in both wood and metal shops lots of times, its a lot of work but the shine is gorgeous. For steel, apply warm.

My parents house had one of those when I was really young. Top was different. Had one oven with French doors. My mom hated it because she said the hot oven doors were dangerous when you were taking things out of the oven. They gutted the kitchen and replaced everything.

With that light, it reminds me of old school diners.

You know, I've only ever seen ovens underneath the stove top. I've seen small ones in the middle of what used to be floor to ceiling cabinets, but never anything like this. I never even considered that it was even an option, lol. That's really cool!

No boot causes blisters. Blisters are cause by people spending 4 seconds trying on footwear and/or wearing the wrong socks. Dr. Martens would be a good choice, but from this lineup: https://www.drmartens.com/us/en/filtered/unisex/made-in-england/c/04310000?size_w_usa=w_size_11
https://us.nps-solovair.com/collections/womens would be another option. These are easier to resole later than Dr. Martens.
Thursday would a fine option as well.
All of these would likely be considered to be lower tier, but your budget doesn't leave much room for better options.

I found a guy near me that has a small warehouse filled with vintage tools... he refurbishes and sells them

Good info, thanks! I definitely do not need smart appliances or a screen on my fridge.
