Hi,
I dont know why but Iv a an infinity with the wee Puffer my first was 48 inches the next 23 and after seeing Les Propers litte one on you tube kept thinking I would like one of those but slightly smaller around 11 to 12 inches
I have pinched a few ideas from Less videos and also a few from James Senfit sort of cobbled them to make up a plant .So cannot lay claim to it been my design and why try and reinvent the wheel.
Where possible the boiler is to the 2018 UK codes but if you want to build one them its youre responsibility to check the requirements in youre area .
Im not a trained machinist Im simply a toy builder so my way of doing things may not be youre way but as long as its safe Im happy and Iv still got all attachments if a little creaky.
This build thread is in hindsight or after the build as I didnt want to start and not finish yep theres a few blunders and a few why did I do that moments but who hasnt had them
A quick pic video of the build and a little video of it running to kick things of

Got 6 of the lads coming down from Argyll and the Islands for the Chinese New Year Night on the 18th Whether they'll bring a piper down is still unknown.

Meantime, Slange!
