Scratchbuilt Pile driver

[Glen Haasdyk]

I jst finished my scratchbuilt pile driver that was sitting in a box unfinished for about 3 years:

It's entirely scratchbuilt with no comercial castings except a handful of grandt Line NBW castings. The dokey engine is a mix of styrene shapes and clock gears. The boiler is a cut down rifle shell with a homemade spark arrestor on it.

Now I can go back to finish my sawmill project...

what process was this a part of ? pulp ?

 

[Glen Haasdyk]

No the pile driver has nothing to do with the sawmill, except that it's on my logging spur. It is used for driving , of all things, piles for trestles and other structures.
