Looks great Dog reminds me of the dredges I use to work on and repair. They were all DC motors and generators though not steam. Keep it coming Chris awesome results...... Don
It's looking great Chris! Like the roof work!
I hate ordering stuff these days... seems there are frequently issues like the backorder thing, split orders with extra ship costs, etc. Hope your flue tube and other supplies for the boiler get there in reasonable time. Meanwhile you could visit the bank to arrange the second mortgage for buying the 4 feet of silver solder for the boiler..... (If you fund your projects like I do) That big copper tube behind the shovel is yelling "BOILER TIME" !
Silver solder is cheap compared to what copper is going for. How big is the boiler going to be? Side note I got the tube for the Lombard and plates. Tube is 6 inches and firebox is going to be 1/4 in plate. Steel would have to get a mortgage for one in copper. Have not decided on flues yet. Good news I am up to 50 lb weight limit. I am only about 3 weeks behind in following the build. Keep up the good work.
Well, at least no horses were abused by having to drink green beer on St Patrick's day to turn all the copper roofs green. On a more serious note my boss ordered several tubes of SS only to have it not arrive before we were starting to run out of stuff, after a call it was determined that one size was on back order so they held everything.
