That’s a great piece and some beautiful craftsmanship, but I’m curious what Jensen would have to say about it being labeled as if it is one of their products?
Good question  Mike , Andy Guy looked at it off & on for over 2 days @ cabin fever and thought it was very nice & didn't have any problems with it , so I decided to post it here.

I just hope somewhere down the line it doesn’t get passed off as a genuine Jensen piece. Not saying that you would do that, but it could happen at some point when we are all gone. I think all pieces like this should be marked in some way that they are collector creations or replicas.
Hard to say what would happen decades from now , any knowledgeable Jensen collector should immediately spot the differences , mainly the port hole riveted boiler. I strive to tag my creations as modified by me to distinguish my  creations s from Jensen's. The wonderful thing about our Country is our ability to customize things and make them our own. Jensen not only wasn't harmed by this plant , but they benefited by the sell of  a new #25 and new #15 generator to build this plant.
