Welcome to Brainman's

Projects Page

This is a new page and in time I hope to add more info on the various projects I'm currently working on ! To see my completed projects follow the links below, or click on the pics to see my current progress!

The first project I have to add to this page is ... An Antique Steam Powered Launch I acquired this 46" model (the beam is 10-1/2") at an auction. The boiler & burner were both there but no engine. The trim has separated & there are a few minor cracks in the hull along with some paint spatter.  I'm told the boat dates to the early 1900's (1915-1920's) !!

Here is a pic of the current progress I've made building the engine for the above launch. The plans are from Elmer Verburg's 'Elmers Engines ' book. It is a 2 cylinder double acting reverseable wobbler type. I thought I should add it to this page because it is a project in itself ! Please feel free to click the pic to see my progress.

A restoration of  a mid '60 s Simplicity model 3212 V  lawn tractor called "Martha" Yes I should have taken  'before' pics, but I got all involved. Needless to say there was a lot of rusty broken parts.

More projects to follow as I get time to take pics & post them. So check back soon!!!

In the meantime .... Please check my other pages to see the projects I have completed
