OKMO Microcosm M31B Vertical Single Cylinder Steam Engine & P71 Mini Pump and DIY Homemade Water Fountain Feature that I silver brazed up and mounted onto a plinth.
I did a fair bit of modding to mount the engine and made the condensate pot from plumbing bits and pieces and did a lot of piping work from the pump to the water feature as well as the steam piping. A lot of fun running this setup.

Thanks Bruce, I'd love to see what your creative mind would come up with building one of these.
