Wooden Steam Engines

Well Chuck as you can see our Bog's is well rounded, and I don't mean his middle, in engine design and build.

I stand correct, he has built one out of wood.

I just don't think he would go to all the fuss of getting wood chips on his nice metal working equipment to make one with tight tolerances.  :lol:

I am now doning my asbestos underwear because I'm sure Bog's is going to give me a shot. Innnnnnnnnnnn Comingggggggggg.

Bernd,

Isn't it marvelous what you can do with half of the neighbours tree, a bottle of superglue, a few screws and a ball of string.

I must admit that it is a little more technical than the plank and nail job you came up with.

There is actually a set of plans for sale on the late Bill Reichart's site

I personally can't get used to a material that has 1/16" as a very close tolerance.

But I do love well made brown items.
