Yes,  this is the first time in 3 or 4 days the madmodder site has responded with a site instead of hanging.

I guess the mods are having issues.

Edit; mind you this is the first time in 3 or 4 days my head has been clear enough to care.... Somekindof bloody lurgy!

OKMO Microcosm M31B Vertical Single Cylinder Steam Engine & P71 Mini Pump and DIY Homemade Water Fountain Feature that I silver brazed up and mounted onto a plinth.

I did a fair bit of modding to mount the engine and made the condensate pot from plumbing bits and pieces and did a lot of piping work from the pump to the water feature as well as the steam piping. A lot of fun running this setup.

I will have done my last concrete pour today. It took 5 total and about 3 tons mixed and poured altogether. 7 bags of Portland cement @ 94 lbs/bag, and almost half of the gravel pile, and about a third of the sand pile. I'm really looking forward to the end of this.

A really great reference to fast and loose pulleys, exactly as used in the day, is David Richards Steam Powered Machine Shop videos, like this one which illustrates how they worked and were set up. Dave has around 80 videos. This is only #2.
