Nice Mike - I've not seen a steam powered lawn mower before. Does it cut well?

See I told you we'd make a welder out of you Dave.
But Rivets would look good.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Mike,

Does that one still dry clothes well, or mow lawns better?

Pretty ingenious use of otherwise cast off materials!

I'm going to look at making out of 30 x 3mm Stainless steel and stick welding it. All depends upon the cost.
My wife also likes the idea of making out of stainless but added can I paint it black Bash  Bash   Bash

Speaking of redneck. I was gifted another hand crank blower for a forge, thought how cool if I made an L shaped pipe, mount the blower on one end pointing down then bring the other end into a fire pit or Boma. A hand crank fire.
