Finally got to sit down and watch all these videos 😍 You have to make a mini Cretors popcorn wagon now!!  :D

Very Nicely done Bruce 👏
Thanks Nick, re:"You have to make a mini Cretors popcorn wagon now!"  I have been looking at many photo's to get some ideas...I'm pretty sure it will need to be an actual popcorn wagon & not just a stand (such as the pretzel warmer) to get all the goodies that I want in place.  ;)

Bruce, if that Cretors mini popcorn wagon project is in your plans, and partially functional; please count me in if you will be taking orders. I am hoping that you will consider a mini steam engine (maybe microcosm) driving that popcorn pan & lighting some LEDs. It will be a sight to behold, and with your workmanship, it will be a Crown Jewels.

That “I don’t really know” bit, inspired, not calculated, is the difference between art and mere craft. Craft is usually constrained by the need to make profit, where art simply says “do it!”.  Well done, sir!
I am most humbled , I love what I do & it's nice other folks seem to enjoy these little oddities as well 😊

Amazing work.  It's a small world after all.  Where did the
idea come from? 

Congrats,

I don't really know Wayne , I just get focused on a idea/vision and proceed head long with it.

Great project Bruce - really nice craftsmanship on the wood and mechanical bits. I'm always amazed at your creative abilities and talents to go where no steamer has gone before. Again, well done!
Very kind of you to say Larry , I really don't know why this came to fruition , pretzels have been around for over a century and a half, but antique pretzel warmers are non existent, so I decided to make this one.

Hi folks, something I've been working on for the past few weeks.
Miniature steam powered pretzel display stand.
it stands 11 7/8" tall @ the top of the pretzel, weighs 2 lbs , is 4 1/4" square, has a capacity of 48 pretzels & is powered by an onboard Jensen #85 steam engine heavily messaged & with roller ball bearings, it is a worm drive gear system also with 2 roller ball bearings in the axle. there are 3 roller bearings in the rotisserie post mounts & has 3 tiers of pretzel holders with 4 racks on each tier (all brass, all adjustable), the case is solid Indiana Oak w/ polycarbonate clear sheet for the windows. the SPS signage was custom made by Kramer creations. the pretzel on top was handmade by me out of modeling clay, hardened & painted & drilled & tapped to screw onto the Brass rod. it will run on as low as 2psi (& getting better all the time) I can remove the belt and run off of any steam engine of 7/16" bore or larger.
