More steam projects fellers

[Pitchy]

First is a home build oscillating engine.
The next is a Wilesco D18 which i really like.
The next one is a Jensen 75 unit.

And last is the logging barge with a Jensen 65 powering it.
We plan on building another flat boat today for the 75.
Thanks for your comments.

No though you can buy them that way i think, i bought it on Ebay.
I like the look of the Wilesco`s better, they look more real.
Thanks

Cool stuff. Thanks, I enjoy such.

Very Nice. Almost nothing better than more boats. Wish they could scale up easily. Seems like you'd need a real scow just to support a real steam engine. In small boats the machinery seems to take up all the capacity of the boat and the engineer is almost an afterthought.

All water gone under the keel for me. I doubt I'll ever get to sail steam. Glad you're still working on it.

Well pard it should be interesting to say the least when all these boats get to going at once.
Thanks.

ALL of us could benefit from a wood-fired steam-engine that was capable of turning a small generator.

Anyone make such an outfit for us dummies who can't make our own...???

[Pitchy]

Oh i imagine, but spendy.

[Borregos]

Pitchy, I can hardly wait for the thaw to see all those steamers cruising your rink

Wish I could run your videos out of photobucket...but my system does not allow.

Says I need to download "Real Player", tried multiple times, but no luck. Help desk says that is because my OS is not supported...still have XP Professional.

Is that true?

I`m not up on that stuff but these video`s seem to use quick time player, is there a download for that.

Love that Mike Brown 2 cyl 3 hp engine. That would power a displacement boat no problem.

He says that it requires 20 pounds of wood per hour. How much wood would it take to run it slowely?

I didn't see what pressure or how much steam it requires to produce 3 hp.

Does it have to have a big boiler, or could you run it with a pressure cooker on a camp stove?

So many questions, so little time.

Thanks

And the sawmills nicce too.

Pitchy, I never cease to be amazed by your creativity.
My late father-in-law's father had a complete machine shop on his estate that was run off an overhead shaft by leather belts. Although his was powered by a hit-and-miss Fairbanks Morse, it could easily have run on steam as well. I think if you had walked in the door of that shop you would have been right at home.

[Pitchy]

Thanks Bill, i just wish someone lived by me that gives a stuff about this stuff.

Naw i`m Air Force, i`m only gonna float these boats so i can blow them out of the water from my fighter plane.

Pitchy,

I love those little steam engines. But you gotta put something in the fuel to make them smoke. Steamers sposta smoke.

Pitchy, I know it is tough to have obscure enthusiasms with no one to share them with. That's the story of my life.

Thank gosh you have your good buddies here on the Net!

[Pitchy]

Thanks gents, we slaved all day in the shop today making a small oscillator engine and boiler to put in a boat. Got it pretty much done and it runs on air but gotta work some bugs out of it.
If it works it will be pretty neat.

Scrool to the bottom of this web site and watch the brass boat video.
That`s what we are making.
