Sneak peak @ Jed P. Jensen style boiler

Hi Folks, Jed P. (gearhead Jed) has become a good friend to me over the years & I had him make me a custom Jensen style boiler for my upcoming project, Jed has become quite the boiler maker....doing research on what types of metal is good for certain applications & generally making things a bit better/stronger than the originals, this boiler is no exception, it is custom built from a bit thicker stock & the bushings are turned brass lugs (not stamped) it has the benefit of being modernized with a lug for the 660W "hotwatt" heater in the rear while keeping the vintage look of added rivets, this boiler is about 8.23% bigger than a stock Jensen 3"x6" boiler, I had Jed make it 6.5" long, with a port for a water drain valve in front, then off to the nickel platers for a flawless layer of nickel plating. excellent work Jed !

I never did get to see the plating in person, but was totally assured that it is beautiful. Wait until you see what Bruce did this time! I really like that boiler. I may have to make me one?😁

The boiler has been put into service & works "better" than I had hoped.

Oh wow...that is a boiler that you need sunglasses to view.
That's first class, top shelf work by Jed and I can't wait to see what you come up with Bruce.
