Made a start on fabricating the steam chest, the parts are straight forward machining. The dowels well keep everything in place when soldering, there not a particularly tight fit and I filed a flat on them to let any gas escape as the job heats up other wise the pressure will pop them out. This is how I set it up for solder, with the joint fluxed and rings of solder round the glands and little nuggets of solder sitting on the joint, putting it in the corner helps keeps bits in place and retain the heat, I tuch on the end of the dowels with a filler rod just to fill them in. This is it after 5 minutes in the acid i stuck it back in for an hour Cleaned the outside up with a file then milled the faces flat so they will make a good seal. Then with it upright in the vice find the centres and drill and tap the sealing gland. Starting to look like a cylinder now. Stew |

Wow Stew. A lot of interesting setup work you are showing here. I like the way you did the steam passage ports, too. A lot better than trying to figure drilling holes that sit in two different angle planes! Thanks for the show. Dean |
