    Water lifter

    Hi All
    This is a water lifter filter for my 3” Foden Steam Wagon. I thought I would share the tooling made to form the material along with the drawing so you can see what the product will eventually look like. The main body, is made from two brass pressings and silver soldered together then filed to shape. The webs are also silver solder to the pressings, and then the drilling. Will post more photos of the build as I go. The drawing is actual size of the original water filter, so I have scaled down to ¼ size.
    There is more info on the Foden build on my web site Practical Engineering
