I must say....Wow! That looks sooooo good. I never do appreciate my own work. I guess I will have to make more??

Wow!

That looks great Matt.

I am glad it went to a good home and has already been put to work (or play depending on your perspective).  ;)

BEAUTIFUL!! 8) 8)

I'm sure it will put a big smile on Jed's face as well seeing his boiler already in use  ;D

Oh yes, that puts a smile on my face.

The background washed out the glowing lamp in the second pic, but you can see it reflected on the table in front of the engine.

I can state the boiler is just as nice in person as it appears in the video and pictures.  I’ve got a #10 with a leaky boiler and this will sort that out nicely.  Glad someone is starting to make them.  I expect there will be quite the demand for these.  Know that you will be receiving one as good as has or ever could be made.

Good to hear it will fix your engine Matt, please don't throw out the old one, I am sure Jed or someone else here can fix that one too  ;)

Hi, I am interested in your replacement Jensen riveted boilers on ebay, and they look very well made. You mentioned 430 F solder, is this high enough knowing that water starts boiling at 212 F?

Thanks everyone! This has been rather eye opening.

Jed, absolutely the most beautiful boiler I have ever laid eyes on...perfect replacement for older Jensen riveted boiler.

I tried your link to video within the listing and got message:  "Video Unavailable"...so something wrong there.

Great piece of work.

Best of luck on this listing Jed. I have it on my watch list, but can't actually think of an engine that I "need" it on. Could be useful as insurance against Murphy though, so I'll be watching and thinking!
