Should not the record of pressure testing be documented rather than scrawled on the boiler itself? Just a passing thought.

Looking at the pictures I agree with your implied doubts - anything but neat, particularly underneath. But who am I to criticise having never built a boiler?!

However, I regard 'professional' as meaning anyone who gains reward in return for services rendered: even a cowboy builder can claim to be professional!

Sorry to be a misery - now to get shot down in flames

I cannot track down any source of plans for the Stirling Single in 7 1/4" scale. Anyone know better, please?

Please accept a comment from a very novice engineer:

I think wheel alignment is always a problem - but my experience is with wood-cutting only.

I have a very useful book on bandsawing which suggests a 'test-frame' (you need a large surface plate to set it up, perhaps) of a straight-edge long enough to bridge both wheels - or all three if you have a deep-throat machine - and subsidiary straight-edges (as long as wheel diameter) so that your main edge can bridge the gubbins that is always in the way. This reveals whether the wheels are co-planar, i.e. not just parallel but also with their faces on a common plane; but what to do if neither wheel can be tilted, I know not.

When that is sorted you can enjoy the other problems of 'square' to table and fence(s)!
