A pair of little steam engines I made, running on a little compressed air. I have been working on them since early November, and they are mostly made of mild steel and aluminum, but there is some brass, bronze, and SS in there.

I made them with a Craftsman drill press and a Grizzly 8x16 bench top lathe, but also used other tools like a cordless drill press and a dicfer. I run them on 5-25 PSIG air because I don't have a steam boiler and probably won't for a while.

There are features in these I didn't perform, mainly because I don't have a mill. I'm fine with not having a mill for now.

"What's a dicfer?" Procreation! Nicely done on the engines.
