EngineDIYShop RETROL SE- 02 Steam Engine Plant Kit
A very nice DIY build kit. Very clever the glass screw on boiler front with the built in water sight. It took me longer than I thought putting it all together + the time on my knees looking for a nut and a bolt!!!
Most definitely needs some modifications, it has a very unique industrial sound to it this engine, quite pleasing to the ear. The only shortfall in the whole design is the silicone tubing coming from the boiler to the steam chest. I've sat now for quite awhile considering how to modify that with a copper pipe run.

A little more progress and finally a swinging pendulum!

Pretty cool Steve!

I have not...

Nothing very special here. We've had some old schoolhouse light globes -- quite fragile, packed in a box for 20 years. Always meant to get around to making some fixtures for the kitchen to fit them. Something simple. Finally at the insistence of SWMBO to clear them out or dispose of them, I assembled a bunch of salvaged bits of PVC water, drain, and emt pipes and tubes together, flattened one half  of a big pipe with heat for flat stock, and came up with these. Tapped the biggest for some SS round head screws to hold the globes. The top piece was a cut down pipe cap. A little green spray paint and I was done.

Not my biggest project, but satisfying nonetheless. Use stored things up, and end up with something nice!

Tough taking photos of lights at night, they make everything else look dark. The kitchen actually looks wonderfully brighter now. You'll have to use your imagination!
