Steam siren

The same way Cat Anderson would do it LOL

Just kidding :o) I have air at home. I would like to make a boiler though.

Powder Keg:
I bored the end for a 1/2" pipe tap and tapped it. Notice the marks on the tap so I can gauge when I'm getting close to the bottom.


After I finished taping the piece, I cut the part off the shaft with my bandsaw. I chucked it back up and faced it to length and bored the different steps that were required.


I then started on the body of the siren. It is a tube that is bored on one end to get silver soldered to the valve and the other end is threaded, so the rotor can be removed for cleaning.


That's all for now.

Can't wait to hear the sound on this one. Love the brassy sound...

Had a small Snafo  this weekend and needed something to do. I saw my Siren parts lying there and decided I needed to revive this thread\o/ It was a pretty lazy day today but I needed to accomplish something. I cut the hex into the bottom of the siren this will allow it to be tightened onto a steam/air pipe.



I need to find a couple of 1/8" endmills to mill the turbine slots. that should be fun:o)

Brass_Machine:
Very good Wes! I want to see this one finished!
