As is tradition (snicker), I'm opening the floor to Patrons to ask questions. Anything you'd like me to answer, post it below in a comment! You can also message ...

Hey Patrons! Following on this morning's video, here are the drawings and 3D models for the 4" fire tube boiler I'm building. These drawings are a bit preliminary, as this project is still evolving. There are a couple of small fittings still missing, but the broad strokes should be correct. I'll ...

Thanks so so much for everyone who participated in the Name That Part contest to win the clamp kit. I was blown away by how many (160!) people entered, and by how great all the responses were. You made it really really difficult to pick one. I wish I could give you all one of t...

Hey Patrons! In my recent Lens video series, I was going through a bunch of books. I mentioned an excellent out-of-print book on building boilers by Alex Weiss that is only available in a difficult-to-read web-based eBook format. A helpful Patron found that it is going to be re-printed and can be...
