Are there any forum members that would be considering a new riveted boiler? I know a few members have already purchased some and I was considering another run. This time I will be doing some 3" dia as well. I was just trying to get an idea of what I should make.

That's just a sheet metal fold-up Nick. Try patterning it out of cardstock or thin cardboard and then give it a try.
Hi Jed, I’d like to have that original #10 boiler repaired if possible. Both end caps are bad and the bottom sight glass fitting was stripped. I fixed that with a stainless Helicoil insert, but replacement would likely be best. The body, top fittings and the upper sight glass fitting all appear to be okay.
Can you work with that?
I would like to further supe up my SPS Double 5s with one of your riveted riveted boiler.
And I have an Old Jensen 5 that I am restoring now.
Both need standard 6” long x 1.5” diamater Boilers.
Charlie, so you would like 2? And Matt, what condition is the boiler.
Nick, I have only ever made one firebox and its not too hard, but not simple either.
Boiler appears good, just the end caps are bad.
Are they rotten or dented?

2 for me. 6” x 2.5”. Not 1.5” diameter. I had a typo in my prior email. Sorry.
Ok, Charlie! I will get on them ASAP!
Rotten. They have some corrosion showing through and weep a bit under pressure.
