    ...classic example of what one can make with just the junk lying around in a reasonably junk-fertile shop.
    Anyone see a pattern?
    ...ingenious bearing clamps made from screws, washers and spent 0.22 cartridge cases for spacers.
    .....lucky to have an 18:1 planetary gear assembly lying around
    ......components rejected from a spacecraft antenna pointing mechanism and I retrieved it from the dumpster.
    ........two discarded steam chests I made for one of my steam engines.

    All I can say is LoL and Marv deserves another round of genuine applause.



    And Stevodee observes "Junk is just material waiting to be used, nice build ". Same here, but my phrase runs "it's only scrap when it's too small to hold"
