Tony I had the same problem a while ago so I called Dydem 1-800-443-9536 www.dykem.com. I spoke to a nice lady who explained the code on the little paper label on the bottom. If I can recall 07c10D means date of mfg. 2007 and the c means March. The product is only good for one year, but lasts...

Wonder if you can tell me how the glass is held in the fitting? Or where to find the answer. I am working off and on making a boiler, looked at the $$ of water level gauges and think I can make it from brass scrap. I just can't figure out how to seal the area where the glass & brass come...

I have the material for this job sitting on my bench, but have now been interrupted by a paying job. My thought was to zero one dial on a given spot then rotate 180 and zero the second dial then work from that point to get both even. Am I traveling down the wrong road? thanks ed

First time trying to post a picture. This is a $ 2.50 HF spring punch holder with the center section removed. Quick, cheap & I am also sure everyone knows about it, but I wanted to try posting a picture. ed

I fully understand the dangers, but thanks for the warning. I live in Las Vegas and have never found anyone other than shops that does machine work as a hobby. Finding someone in my area would be a dream come true. thanks

I have been at this all week, searching the net and the machine sites. I want to build a small steam boiler like the Argus & Hardware Store Boiler in the photos section. I think I understand the marty burner idea but have no idea about the boiler construction, the coils, where & how much water...
