Jensen 20g Steam Engine Driven Leonardo DaVinci Mechanical Drum

 

Thought this might interest some of you pards this was a lot of fun to make and to modify, the mods made the kit a real model or toy steam engine accessory. Its extremely loud in use! It was easy to spray paint the kit before assembly and to make the drive pulley on my metal lathe out of aluminum and the drive belt is O ring super glued together. The timber plinth I routed is just plain stained pine and three coats of marine spar varnish.

Its never going to be a 'musical' instrument! I need to run the belt through one of the transmissions that I have machined up over the years, this was just a test to see that it all held together.
