Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try I tend to do the reverse.😢

I have all of the gears required for this project, brand new from Boston Gear and still in the packages, except for the pinion, which, though still brand new, is not a Boston gear, though it is an equivalent of the one specified by Harris. $USD300.00 plus mailing cost from Ontario, Canada will...

I've been pondering this, and have concluded that, since Rudy and Birk Petersen (whose "Live Steam" construction series I have) both used what looks like the same model of steam roller as inspiration, I can use both of their models in designing my version of Rudy's roller. In determining...

Well, if that isn't it, it'll sure do till something better comes along! Thank you, Rich, for all your time and trouble. I think I have a winter project here....

That's great, Rich! Many thanks. I can download these and take some useful measurements from them. If I were able to use one of those fancy CAD drafting programs, I could probably draw up a set of plans for it, but I think I can make do with this, though I'll still keep looking for plans.

Rudy's family has made this available for free. Go to this page and scroll down to find the download link: http://www.john-tom.com/ForSale/ForSale.html

Keep this up! For a non-technical guy like me who is trying to make a Breisch Associated engine from castings, your setups and procedures are very informative. Yesterday I spent the entire afternoon puzzling over how to clamp the base casting to the mill table, and finally came up with the bar...

Again thanks, John. Still no Kouhoupt steam roller plans. Are they out there?

Darn! You know, this is something that may never surface again, and that's a shame, because that roller deserves to be built. Thanks again for looking, and if it ever does turn up, please let me know.

Thank you for taking the trouble, John. I'm keeping my fingers crossed....

Beautiful work. Should make excellent steam rollers. Oh. Here's my Harris roller:

Hey! That's terrific--if you still have them, of course.... How can I obtain them from you?

Thanks, Rich. I'll check out Bridgewater. And as for the de Waal roller, sarel, it looks remarkably like the Bill Harris model.

I went to the site, but like you I didn't trust it. Besides, the little I saw suggested that the book deals with full-sized rollers, and I just want Rudy's little model.

Thanks for that, Rich. It would be nice if something were to turn up. And the design is definitely not the Harris one; I have one of those rollers. If I were capable of using FreeCad or one of those programs, I'd take a shot at creating some drawings from the two photos that I have; alas, the...

I have about 325 miscellaneous issues ranging from the 1950s to 2006. There are a couple of full year sets in there, too. These are my extras, free to a good home. I am in Ontario, Canada, near Belleville. Sorry, but no picking. You must take all. They're too heavy to mail, too, so you'll...

Shop shoes! And don't let the cat come into the shop; he may pick up swarf and cut his pads.

Looking great!

Still working on this. No luck with Live Steam, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Mechanix Illustrated, HSM, you name it. The Jersey Boys came up with a suggestion that I was looking for a Birk Petersen roller, but that's not it, nor is it a Bill Harris roller. This really has to be one of...

Thank you, Rich. I've also sent off a query to the Jersey Boys.
