Nice work as always, Royce; really like the lap joints on the copper. It's a nice detail that really sets off the design.
Christmas 2020
- Thread starter royce
- Start date
This is my favorite part of it.
This tubing came from coal fired boiler and the pic shows some buckshot from a repair, I would guess.
I can picture some poor boilermaker, probably standing on his ear, trying to make a patch, cussing up a storm, wishing he would have stayed in school!
Anyhow, I could not bring myself to grind them off.

Everything you make turns out awesome.
Made a race car for our youngest grandson today.
The body is a couple air motors, the rear suspension link arms are roller chain links,
the rubber wheels are from some old casters,
the nose, tail and engine are tube cleaning tools,
the steering wheel is a shock washer,
The driver is a spark plug labeled by Lincoln, I found on the beach of a lake when I was a boy, 50 or so years ago!
He is over the moon about cars and will dig this contraption.

Every present seems to keep getting better Royce. Your grandson is going to remember you every time he looks at his race car.

Very Impressive! Makes me want to get on the floor and go "vroom vroom", even at 69!

That one should come with the "Pre Historic Cell Phone" badge, Samsung 1BC moniker! I remember lots of those around when I was a child. Should also make for a good conversation with the little ones. Royce I would like to suggest that you could print off a custom label for the cans for a little custom touch, colours that they, like their name, etc. Way to Go on these projects Royce should be lots of smiles Christmas morning!

Thank Harry,
The phone really takes a man back to childhood, doesn't it.
Smiles and memories is what it is all about.
Merry Christmas
