Steam Simplicator


Well , this last weekend I started my second steam car. The last one was about 5 years ago.
This one is inspired by a design made by Richard J. Smith and Karl Petersen back in the 1960's called the "Educator".
I got the woodwork for the body done tonight in a about 8.25 hours of total work over 3 evenings.
I am not a machinist. I do have skills in woodworking, plumbing, welding, and drafting. So I will be doing alot of adaptation to make it.
