After a busy period, my father was finally able to work on the steam engine again. He sent me an update so I can share it with you. I’m very proud of how carefully he’s crafting his first build, and I really appreciate that he’s sharing his updates
This is his own written update:
I worked on the steam engine for a few more hours. My late father’s old, small files are coming in handy again.
That’s so nice, proud of him… I also try to affect my mom but she more interesting in Mahjong… By right the flywheel should all be black but… by left he can keep it if he like to… keep his own personal ideal into the assembly is a fun too just my perspective
Steam engine is sooo cool. I also have this and gave it to my partner since he loves to build gundam. Your father is awesome and congrats to his first kit.
Haha my husband doesn’t want to build anything, he says he doesn’t have the patience for it, but he’s never tried it…just keep at it…one day we’ll get them to build their own kit
Everything looks do beautifully and carefully done. I love the old filing tools on this picture, reminds me of my grandpas old tools he used to keep in his shed… I am inspired to get my own set,
Thank you so much for sharing
Your welcome @Orangesareus My grandfather built a large wooden ship a long time ago. He used these files for that. So they’ll definitely come in handy.

Looking at the build so far I wouldn’t say this is his first kit
