I have a Boiler

and it works
Sandman

Can't wait to see it hooked up to the beam engine.
scorpion2nz

it will run it no problems but I think it maybe to big  and looks a little out of place. Maybe I need to build another engine now to use excess steam
Compound

Yes that works! Nice pressure gauge

Fire plus water = pressure rising!  

I would be concerned with those two plugs in the face of boiler...if they blew out they could become like bullets!

 those 2 plugs are threaded in and only temporary they are where the sight glass and drain cock are going to go.bits I have not made yet as glass tubing still coming
and the safety valve starts releasing at 22lbs a square inch
except when i held it down to see how much further the pressure would go.
the relief valve is adjustable so i may just lower the pressure a bit more .in the video it was set at what I thought would be about right
it is adjustable from the underneath the valve so therefore in side boiler so not tempted to adjust when a head of steam is raised

I lok forward to seeing it earning its keep.

ask and you shall receive

Very nice indeed.

What a great set up Dennis.

You have no worries about scale. That boiler assembly looks a perfect compliment to the beam engine.

IMHO, you've got it just right.
