    That’s awesome. It actually looks good too.
    It does sound a little lean though.
    Thanks. The guys at would get a kick out of it.

    He operates it just like I would operate it... give it a couple revs in between cuts so you don't foul the plug :rofl: :lol:

    No doubt...I wanna see the build on that!
    Wouldn't be able to use that machine during the burn ban season though.
    Its kinda like a post apocalypse version of Red Green crossed with Macgyver!
    I guess the steam is enough lube for the air motor, huh?

    It may be stupid, but still impressive, IMO!
    There are worse things a guy could waste time on!

    I was referring to the guy cutting and welding in shorts.

    I like the steam power!
