Why do you need a hearth, to you intend using parafine blowlamps for heat?.
Thread: Bending steel tube

Use a plumbers bender with a 22mm former.
Cut 6in. pieces of 22mm copper tube in half - 'lengthwise',
(enough to pack out the former and slide) . 
Anneal the steel tube. in way of bend,  insert 15mm. bending 
spring and away you go.

Now come on you chaps, do your bit for the green lobby and turn off those lathes. Run a line around it with your height gauge, grab a pair of 'Gilbow' tin snips and in a spiral fashion,(mind your hands as the flash rolls off) , gently work your way gradualy to your line.     Ten minute job,  giving more time for the  -   'Yorkshire Tea brew'  by gum lads 
Thread: Yarrow 3 drum boiler
03/01/2010 16:08:48
Hi ChrisH,
I would imagine that the Yarrow Boiler (see pics) that I put together some years back, is a little bit bigger than the one that you have in mind.  The customer, (a retired sea captain) was putting it in a flat bottomed Punt, together with a 'Stuart Swan' engine.  The steam drum is 5" dia. - water drums 3 1/2" dia. and it has- 144 x 7/16" tubes + 2 down -comers of  1/2" dia.  Owing to space, Fuller details plus hints& tips can be supplied if needed.  There are no drawings (to my knowledge) as it was a one off job.
 
Best of luck
 
Regards
Alf.

Have there been an articles in ME on constructing a 3 Drum Yarrow Boiler?
 
If so, what were the issue number or numbers please?  I presume back copies will still be available.  And also if so, where the articles in detail or just 'superficial'?
 
If not in ME, does anyone know where else such an article may have been published for the model engineer? 
 
I am a subscriber to MEW not ME, hence  the queries.
 
Regards,
ChrisH
