Thank you Jed, now we can really see your work good
And I definitely hope there will be more boilers
I cannot believe how well that engine runs too, it looks like you nearly have the steam line closed off and it's still going fast.
Nick, I haven't checked to see how long it takes this engine to stop running once the plug has been pulled. I know it takes awhile.
5 inch long boiler build underway!
getting to be quite the master craftsman Jed (& I knew you when...lol) really fine work my friend !
5" and 6" side by side! 5" all done! Off to nickle plating after leak check.
Beautiful work Jed, can't wait to see what they look like after plating
Does it look like jewelry to you? I must say that even I am impressed! I never thought I could do it. Who needs a new boiler??? May make some with HottWatt heaters and the newer tube gauge from Jensen. I would try to silver braze those boilers.
These boilers fill a much needed niche , you should have no problem selling all that you can produce 👍
Steam test has been completed on the 5" long boiler. Video is on youtube and came out a little ya know...cockeyed. Stupid phones.
Two boilers have been shipped out for plating.

Must be a bit worrying sending them out after spending all that time on them. Hope everything goes well and can't wait to see them nickeled
