hunting for parts.......


Always a good excuse:going to second-hand/antique shops because you need parts for a project.This is what I got today:
-a small model of a waterpump,I think it will be excellent to use in a steam engine.
-a stand for a candle,always useful.
-two wicks,equally so.
-one pot,could be used as a boiler for the steam engine.
-a plant mister,idem.
-5 ladles,very lightweight,I'm thinking anemometer type of thing....
-one candle-extinguisher

Also in another(my favourite)shop:two miniature bottles,and a temperature gauge,basically for the copper tubing that is part of it.

And I got 3 pieces of 1/8" copper tubing,so I can now make a pop-pop boat which has a coil.
