I have a couple coming my way!

Very excited.

Charlie, I am very sorry that it has taken so long. I know that we have conversed, and I really appreciate your patience and understanding. They are being plated! Hope that they turn out as nice as Bruce's.

No worries Jed. Quality is worth waiting for! 🤠

I hadn't realized what I have gotten myself into with this. They take some time to build, but I am glad to help the hobby and make friends. Most important, friends! Bruce has been a major help! Along with a few other collectors, such as Gil. I have a young family, fulltime job and another baby on the way! Just found that out and happy for another child.

So, if you are in need of a Jensen style boiler, please send me a message. I have quite a few "Big" things in the works.

this is a brand new construction boiler made by Jed Pusczykowski, Of PA.(gearhead Jed) he has his own YouTube channel under the same name. he is quite the skilled boiler maker & also a friend. this particular boiler is made to replace more modern fittings 3" x 6" boilers while utilizing real  "rivets" (or escutcheon pins) in the build for that very rare riveted boiler look. these are solid brass, with turned brass bushings all soldered in place, pressure tested & given a high  quality professional nickel plating.
