Bruce another great job on building a new type of Jensen. It just
wants me to get better on the lathe and make something new and
exciting.

Carl ,I can (& have) stood at my lathe for hours without ever even noticing the time passing by, when I was making the pulleys for this generator was such a time, I don't know how I ever went for so long without a lathe.

Truth to tell ... that came out every bit as EXCEPTIONAL as I figured it would from first viewing Matt's custom boiler and knowing the whims of the  ultimate Jensen master modifier!

SUPERB Bruce .......... far more than "simply" SUPERB!!!

thanks Daniel, I think I might have built this plant just around one of Jed's boilers.

Yes, of course I meant Jed's boiler! Think I made the mix-up due to having just viewed Matt's recent Jensen eBay sales of some really wonderful engines!

Sorry Jed ... I really did know better!!!

Well you have certainly been busy building Jensen's this year Bruce  :o, another spectacular build with one of Jed's special boilers. 8)

I'm sure it will give you many years of service.
