We decided to build a verticle with a big flywheel and a engine on the same side powering it.
Sooooo today we got a good start.

Without base.

Looks like a good project. Do you put any sketches and such on paper first or just build it out of the images in your head? I have to plan it out with scale drawings in order to keep myself in line. But then I have a reputation of not finishing projects. I guess it's true; '41 Mercury coupe that's been on the rotisserie for 5 years, two wood splitters that are about 75% for 2 years and an Ironhead Sportster that I've been piecing back together for 6 years. These are only the big projects and now I'm not able to get around very well due to pain in my left leg. I'll get them done some day.

No drawings, just build as I go or from looking at a picture on the internet of something I like.
I gotta keep busy or I`ll self destruct, and once I start I don`t stop until it`s done.

Great job, Pitchy! Man, she runs like a greyhound. Do you fill the boiler through that safety valve?

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Feb 22, 2017 11:27 am

Thanks guys, yep fill through the blow off hole.
Getting ready to paint now, should have a finished vid later today.

That's cool Pitchy! The sound of those old steam puffers always makes me smile.

Good work bud.

That looks like a whole herd of fun.
Good way to put to use some of the odds and ends sitting in the scrap pile.
