Custom RETROL steam engine.
« on: March 04, 2025, 07:39:17 pm »
What a big little project this was.  Since I don’t have all the tools necessary, getting this right was pretty tough but I managed to do it.

Cutting a hole inside the wood to honor the flywheel while keeping it neat looking and proper dimensions was trial and error for hours only using a dremmel.

All in all turned out. Going to mount the Retrol boiler on another matching piece of wood and have them separate. I think it’ll look really cool!
