It's still a good looking engine David and I am reminded of it each week when we do the rounds of the supermarket.

Steve, Jim..... Thank You!  :beer:

Each week, Herself just sighs, and raises her eyes.        As I head off down the kitchen/ houseware alley......   :thumbup:

That's a beautiful engine make from stuff found in any kitchen,  top marks my man! :beer:

I think this is a clear lesson that we should take more notice of the things around us and in the kitchen department especially! :coffee:


Hmmmm..... looking in my cupboard of old-but-too-good-to-throw-out-stuff I found a stainless steel plunger coffee maker,  thats about a 1200cc stainless steel DOUBLE WALLED container with parallel internal bore!

Surely that could be used for something,  maybe a lovely water jacket for a two cylinder type engine,  a bit bigger than table top size though. :scratch:

thums up from me  :ddb:
Stilldrillin:
John, Bob.
Thanks for your comments.  :beer:

That coffee maker sounds to have great potential!  :thumbup:


And..... Here's the burner, that was coming on, a couple of weeks ago! 

Usual build. Top of a salt grinder/ pot.
Brass disc, base, with central locating bar, and supporting foot underneath the wicktube.......




The crossbar locates nicely, in the rim of the bowl/ firebox.......




Until, my fumbly fingers knocked the burner, fully inside the firebox!  :palm:
The only way to retrieve, was to lift the hot engine, while it was running.  :(

A taller, breather tube, stopped that happening again.........




Here's another, final video........




Job's a good un!  :D
