Title: Alexander Steam Show
Post by: amecks on September 07, 2018, 07:38:07 PM
Been waiting for this and Wow a beautiful weather day.  This is a great show with a lot of variety of machines.  But a terrific flea market with many vendors and very many of them either specializing in tools or at least selling some tools.  I found all 4 remaining SK 3/8 dr metrics to complete a set. 
I want to put this engine in my lawn tractor...

And then put new wheels on my lawn tractor...

Another bike builder but younger made himself a swing bike - note the two steering assemblies...

 that rusty tool, 3rd down on the left, I was thinking a fly wheel turner, but may have second thoughts on that due to the size of the bottom jaw.

I was sorta hoping it was a flywheel turner but found that it's a pump yoke wrench.
