A steam "hammer" that I made some years ago -

and lastly, the most popular thing at my steam shows, made it over 6 yrs ago & its been a "must bring" steam workshop to the steam shows




Bruce, I am sure glad you posted this here. I had not recalled seeing a video of it before. Awesome work shop!

Dougs Slinkey-tester was the one single inspiration-source behind my slinkey-accessorie.
I asked Doug for permition to persuit my own Version; which resulted in my slinkey-accessorie. It was my mastermind mechanical inclined friend Ioan who planned and built it.



Amazing, Ola. This one never ceases to grab my attention!

This is a friction brake that I came up with. Turning the knob left or right increases or decreases the friction on the shaft, very simple and its very effective to put a load on an engine and of course fun to use :)

a showman's caravan that I built to be pulled by my showman's Markie

and lastly, the most popular thing at my steam shows, made it over 6 yrs ago & its been a "must bring" steam workshop to the steam shows

Bruce I just watched the caravan video and what detail inside was excellent.
The Jensen workshop was great and I would like to see in person to see all
the detail you have put into it.

I pick Coal Miner kit when I was in Scotland. I had to replace
the main shaft so that I could put a pulley on it.

Don´t know if this belongs here, as it really doesn´t count as an accessory i have "built, but more as a simple restoration and conversion into one.


None the less, here goes nothing...


My K.J. Miller compressor accessory:

your compressor  certainly does belong here, it is superb, the job you did restoring it was outstanding, I remember the first time i saw it i went on the hunt to find a resto project for myself....none came up & I guess it got away from me....now I want one again...lol
