Here's my actual steam project, consisting of a PMR #1 steam engine kit and #2 boiler. Mechanicals parts are done but the project itself need finishing touch.

Thanks for viewing! fullsizeoutput_75e.jpeg

Thanks! It’s my little Taig, about 2.5" swing and 10" between centers. But that wasn’t the one use to make that engine .

So what did you use to make your engine?

Where did you get the engine kit from?

Mostly a Craftex cx700 and a Rockwell/Delta 21-100 miller... some parts my cnc Taig miller. I also have a Logan 10" lathe (in fact an "Edgerite" made by Logan and sold by Eaton in the 50s) but I didn’t need it for this project.
I ordered both casting kits directly from PMR via their website. Same thing for the tank, pump and tubing fittings. Great service each time!

That's pretty neat. I've been tempted many a time to get one of those kits to build.

Let's see some images of your metal working machines.

Rockwell/Delta flat grinder will follow tomorrow...
Oh, and note that the shop is really not looking like this anymore...

It is ;), you got the eye! It's the starting steps of the Pensy A3 of Kozo Hiraoka. I'm not on my own computer now, but I can post some pics tomorrow if there's interest. But it's not yet very advanced :rolleyes:, that project is much more longer than I thought first...
