Weeden Chuff Pot
« on: August 31, 2019, 12:29:23 pm »
I made this a while back from a Weeden Boiler.

A little touch up to do on the base paint.

Brass hose adapter, Bushing and Weeden decal came from www.weedensteam.com.

Thanks Frank!

First class repurposing.

A must for the regular running of some of Weeden's classic engines!

Hummmm .... ya know, I have a wreck of a Weeden vertical, and the boiler is likely to never hold pressure safely again, but could be made to hold water at atmospheric pressure .... just maybe I should consider following your lead here Charlie.  ;c)

Thank you Larry. My first attempt to solder in a bushing. It was a success. 🤠

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Nothing like the fine Chuff Potts from Demon Industries, but I was pleased with the outcome.
